Section of tree could crash to the ground at any time

21/02/2022

Drivers and walkers are asked to not ignore the road closure notices

People are being asked to heed the warnings of road closure signs on The Fairway in Banbury where a large section of a poplar tree has broken and could come crashing to the ground at any moment. It is currently held in place by a second tree. Its feared that the broken section could come down at any time, helped by today’s strong winds.

A number of walkers and vehicles have all been seen passing the road closure notices, some of which have been knocked down by the storm gusts.

The closure notice was first put in place on Saturday afternoon when the tree succumbed to the winds of Storm Eunice.

Drivers are asked to follow the signed diversion and walkers avoid the area until the tree can be made safe.

All Oldies All Evening

Your favourite music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s

Spend your evening with us for brilliant memories from four decades of music - the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Each evening we dig through our massive collection of some of the biggest songs from three fantastic decades. From the 1960s we'll play the songs that were around at the time when England won the World Cup, man stepped on the moon for the first time, Dr Who was first broadcast, and everyone was groovy during the summer of love. From the 1970s it's the tunes that will bring back memories from the period when the sun never stopped shining during that long hot summer, people played with Simon, we went to see movies like Grease and Jaws for the first time, and we boogied at the best discos. From the 1980s we select songs that were around in the era of the first CD players and home computers, the iron lady, the first episode of The Simpsons and the Live Aid concerts. From the 1990s the music will evoke memories of Cool Brittania, Girl Power, Britpop and big puffa jackets. You'll be singing along with your favourite music from four brilliant decades all evening long!
