Trading Standards successful prosecution
I have been asked by the person who reported this vehicle to post this on our Forum. If you spot an HGV attempting to drive down Dyers Hill and over the bridge, please take the registration number and report it to trading Standards.
"Today I was notified of the result of the road traffic case that originated from your report of vehicle RK19 KOW that you saw in Charlbury on the 3rd November 2023, having crossed the weight restricted bridge at the foot of Dyers Hill.
The driver, Mr Ilyas Khan, pleaded guilty to this offence and was fined £283. He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £180 and a victim surcharge of £113.
Thank you for providing both the initial report and subsequent witness statement as it would not have been possible to bring this prosecution without them.
Kind regards

Charlbury Community Market this Saturday
The market is back on Saturday after a last minute cancellation last week (apologies again).
This week we have the ever amazing @styanfamilyproduce with their home grown fruit and veg, stock up on your delicious freshly ground coffee with North Leigh's @lastunicorncoffee and there is the very welcome return of @missingbeancoffeeroasters bakery. Our market volunteers will be selling their produce on the Bakery's behalf, so come along to buy sourdough, sandwich loaves, bear claws, a variety of pastries and sausage rolls (including a veggie version).
Unfortunately, our new addition to the Charlbury market gang, Tom from Party in Your Mouth has had to pull out due to illness, but fingers crossed that he will be better for the market the following week to sell his home made (in Charlbury) ready meals!
