Nest Swing - Update
The security fencing around the nest swing should be coming down on 21st January. By then the grass may have had a chance to become established somewhat.
The new surface under the swing will mean there is no need to add new safety bark every few years and the rubber 'grow-through' mesh will provide a surface which will not get worn and muddy.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Banbury Road Pedestrian Crossing - open
Just in time for lockdown the new pedestrian crossing on Banbury Road is now up and working.
Located on Banbury Road opposite Judds Garage this now offers villagers an alternative to the single crossing on the High Street. The new crossing is also worth noting for local drivers who will need to get used to its location and be prepared to stop in a new place within the village!
Keep safe.

The turf will need to settle for a week or so.With the news of lockdown annouced yesterday evening we appreciate that this... Read More »

Tent near the burial ground
A number villagers have spoken to Parish Councillors about the young couple camping close to the burial ground. We have been aware of them since they arrived and have offered support, advice and assistance, they have also been helped by Byfield Good Neighbours and individuals. Clearly this can only ever have been a temporary arrangement and the Parish Council has now asked them to find somewhere else... Read More »
