London Road level crossing in Bicester
The East West Rail project has published details of 6 options that it is considering for the resolution of the issues at London Road level crossing in Bicester.

The new lockdown means that it’s no longer possible for any of our activity groups to use the Hall and all regular activities are again suspended until further notice.
We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back again just as soon as that’s possible and will keep you informed as usual via our facebook, website and emails.
The Hall will reopen from Thursday 3rd December for our regular user groups that wish to return and who’re permitted to run activities under the Covid-19 rules and restrictions. Please contact your group organiser if you’re unsure whether or not your activities are resuming or allowed.
