RESIDENTS have just a matter of days to have their say on whether a divisive weight limit on vehicles driving through parts of Burford should be made permanent. The experimental measure was brought in last August and prevents heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) weighing more than seven and a half tonnes passing through the town in various roads. The scheme was designed to promote road safety, reduce damage to roads and buildings, and cut congestion. However, some local councillors wish to see the weight restriction removed due to the impact on the wider area. Oxfordshire county councillor Liam Walker, who represents the Hanborough and Minster Lovell division, said: “What has become very clear since August last year is that this ban has resulted in local businesses having to use alternative routes that often cut through smaller villages like Minster Lovell, Crawley, or Leafield.
Oxford city has lost its only Michelin star, however.
Two One Five, previously known as Oxford Kitchen, in Banbury Road, Summertown had held a star for two years, though was awarded a coveted Michelin Plate for good cooking. Praising Two One Five, which is run by chef Paul Welburn, the guide says: The long, narrow room has a laid-back vibe but you’ll feel passion and intensity coming from the kitchen. Menus change with the seasons and reassuring combinations deliver on sophistication and execution. Mr Welburn thanked the Michelin Guide for including his highly-acclaimed restaurant, saying: Great to be included in the Michelin Guide. After the change around, name rebrand and the tough time the industry is going through, to open Two One Five and get the Michelin Plate recommendation sets us up for when we reopen again and continue the rebuild.
