Bus services in parish cut by Arriva

Because of relatively low passenger use (an average of 12 to 16 passengers per day) bus services through the parish are being cut from 8 January, 2023 to just four a day, which are being subsidised by Oxfordshire County Council at a cost of £20,000 per year until August 2024. The service does not operate on Sundays.

The main service will in future run via the A4155 Henley Road in future, where there is less risk of damage to buses and double-deckers will be able to operate.

The proposed new timetable is here. Are you likely to be affected by this change? If so please email Mandy Sermon, our Parish Clerk.
