Yes, Julie, it was re-opened yesterday at lunchtime.

Can anyone confirm that the road to Woodstock is now open please?

I had a look on Fix My Street, Tony, to see if that was still live, and it said that there are more works scheduled in the area in early August. I haven't had any notification of that so will find out what they are.

The recent rain caused a trench at the right hand side of the Woodstock road just past the Stonesfield Lane turnoff going out of Charlbury

I reported this & got a response so assumed it would be filled in during the road resurfacing, but the contractor went up to the edge but didn't fill it in

Any chance of a proper job before it is further eroded?

Indeed Mark. “Surface dressing” is the road building equivalent of papering over the cracks.

7.55 am Lorries waiting in lay-by at top of Woodstock Road and work is being started. Looks like doing section from 30mph sign down to Fiveways. 

Yes, clear information on what is going on and when would be helpful. In particular, if residents of Woodstock Road want to travel which way do we go?? If road is closed at Fiveways, as looks likely, how do we know?

It would be good to see the end result as to cover such a long distance in 2 days, I would suggest that a covering of chipping is being overlaid to the existing road surface. Hopefully repairs to the original sub base have been considered, as otherwise, just covering over the problems of a degraded surface, which hopefully ? has been repaired - I believe a lot of preparation and repairs are needed , to allow the surface dressing being applied - I would be surprised if this was the case in such a short period . Hopefully, I’m proven wrong!

Looks like it will be tomorrow too as they haven't quite finished the whole stretch. Some advance warning would have been useful, especially if they start work at rush hour. Diversion signs would also help. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the road gets fixed, it would just be nice of the council if they caused less agro.

I went the Enstone Rd way this morning as currently the Woodstock Rd appears to be closed all the way to Judds Garage
