The incident occurred between 3.30pm and 5pm on Sunday (April 26) when a man was exposing himself around Donnington Bridge, Donnington Bridge Road.

He has been described by police as a white man in his 50s, around 5ft 10ins tall with grey hair, and was wearing a grey t-shirt and tan shorts.

Thames Valley Police has now asked the public for information in an appeal this afternoon (Wednesday, April 29).

A spokesperson for the force said: “We are appealing for witnesses following an indecent exposure in Oxford.

“Anyone who has any information, was around the area during that time, has CCTV or dash cam footage, please get in contact with us by calling 101 or making a report via our website quoting reference number 43260203749.”

The 62-year-old was diagnosed in 2009 with breast cancer when she was 46 years old.

The actress, best known for playing Sally Metcalfe in the ITV soap since 1986, learned about her own diagnosis on the same day she filmed the scene where she shared her diagnosis with her on-screen husband.

Speaking to Prima magazine, she said she would play the storyline differently if she had the chance after going through the experience herself.

She said: “I think there are moments in the show that, like the breast cancer storyline, which, if I went back, I think I would have done very differently.

“In the sense that because I got it myself, I realised what it was like to go through breast cancer and how much you hide your pain from people you love.

“I think I didn’t play it that way.

“I played it that Sally was very emotional and upset, and I think that now I would have gone back and played it completely differently because real-life experiences make you go, ‘Ah, I shouldn’t have done that, I shouldn’t have done this’.”

She added: “The first day when I came back after having six months off… I felt incredibly emotional and so grateful that… I’d not taken it for granted at all, but to go away and think, ‘Will I ever go back?’ and then to be doing what you enjoy doing, you’re just so grateful for having that opportunity again.”

Dynevor described the role as the “perfect job” and said she never in a “million years” thought she would be on the famous cobbles for four decades.

She said: “I just thought it was going to be a year at the most, but I look back now, and I think, ‘Gosh, four decades, that is a long time.’

“Not many people are in the same job for 40 years any more, let alone acting.

“I don’t think I’m ever going to retire.

“I’ll stay here as long as they want me; if they don’t want me any more, I’ll still try to do something, because the idea of retirement just sounds awful to me!

“When you love what you do, why would you want to retire? I come into work every day and I’m surrounded by wonderful young people who are showing me what’s going on in the world and the fashions, and they’re exciting and interesting. I love young people.

“So the idea of just packing it all in and sitting at home and going, ‘Right, what shall I do today?’

“Just absolutely not.”

Works have started at the OxBio Hub in Oxford, a 130,851 sq ft development, that will deliver the comprehensive refurbishment, reuse and extension of Building 2700 into a major new science and innovation campus in Oxford.

Angus Bates, director of GreyArc Investments and owner of OxBio Hub, said: “We understand that science and innovation thrive in environments built around people and community.

“That’s why we are investing heavily in creating a genuinely connected ecosystem at OxBio Hub, where occupiers don’t just lease space, but become part of a thriving, collaborative environment designed to support growth, innovation and long-term success.”

The scheme has rapidly moved forward since planning permission was granted and will offer flexible R&D and office space ranging from 4,000 to 130,851 sq ft.

A major strip-out of the existing building has been completed, clearing the way for refurbishment and expansion.

This included removing mechanical and electrical systems, internal partitions, ceilings, floor finishes, and decommissioning old building infrastructure.

The steel frame of the building is now being exposed in preparation for structural strengthening and reconfiguration.

A preview and early access tour of the OxBio Hub will be held on May 7 from noon to 2pm.

The event will give potential occupiers and stakeholders a chance to see the site and learn more about the project’s vision and progress.

The campus is designed to meet current and future needs of science and deep-tech businesses.

It will feature CL2 lab-ready space suitable for advanced research, modern laboratories, and high-quality office environments.

Mr Bates said: “Once complete, OxBio Hub will be far more than a place of work.

“Amenities are central to the vision, with high-quality facilities including a gym, café, meeting rooms, auditorium, fully serviced internal and external breakout areas, secure access, dedicated delivery facilities, cycle storage, extensive parking, and reimagined communal spaces designed to encourage interaction, collaboration and wellbeing.”

He highlighted the site’s strong transport links and proximity to academic institutions as key advantages.

Mr Bates said: “Our location on Oxford’s Ring Road, close to leading universities and innovation hubs such as the BioEscalator, further strengthens this offering.

“We are also looking forward to the building’s availability aligning with the opening of the Cowley Branch Line, just 400 metres away, which will significantly enhance connectivity and accessibility for occupiers and visitors alike.”

Bosses are targeting a ‘BREEAM very good’ rating, with an emphasis on low embodied carbon, reuse of existing structures, and responsible resource management.
