Cherwell District Council is calling for enthusiastic people to volunteer as marshals when the Olympic Torch relay comes through the district in July. Volunteer marshals will work in key locations along the Torch relay route as it goes through Bicester, Kirtlington and Kidlington. They'll ensure that the event is safe and enjoyed by everyone by helping to supervise the route. The council will provide training sessions to ensure everyone knows what they have to do on the day.
Please contact Trish Redpath or Nicky Cayley at Kidlington Parish Council if you want to get involved. 01865 372143 - 20 March - Traffic Ban for Kidlington High Street
Next month Kidlington High Street will be a pedestrian area during the day.
A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) agreed between Oxfordshire county, Cherwell district and Kidlington parish councils will come into effect on Monday, April 16.It will be enforced by Thames Valley Police and signage will go up in the area at the beginning of next month, warning of the impending changes.
In the fortnight leading up to the introduction, council staff will be in the area and able to inform motorists of the new regulations. Then throughout the first two weeks of the order being in operation, those who breach it may be given advice rather than receiving a fine.
A full consultation on the proposals was carried out by between September and November 2010 to ensure they reflected most people’s views. The regulations were devised by Cherwell last year and these were also consulted on. Since then careful preparations have been made for their implementation.
Some shopkeepers in the area have agreed to help publicise the change by carrying a poster in their window and hand leaflets out to customers. Leaflets can also be found at Kidlington Library and Exeter Hall on Oxford Road.
High Street will be closed to vehicles except those of permit holders between 10am and 4.30pm. Blue badge holders, cyclists and deliveries will be permitted at any time outside these hours but no waiting will be allowed except for loading.
