Picture by Tony Ketley (BFP Camera Club) One of the notable highlights of spring has to be when the bluebells bloom, covering grassy verges and woodlands in splashes of colour. Bluebells are found in ancient wooded areas and are protected under the Countryside Act (1981), which means it is illegal to wilfully damage them – so people must stick to the paths and take care not to trample on them. Likely due to the colder weather this year, they seem to have flowered slightly later this year – so, with lockdown restrictions having eased, it is the perfect time to enjoy a tranquil walk in Bucks’ best spots for bluebells before their short-lived season ends in May.
Work will begin on May 10, and is set to be completed by May 18. The effect of the order is to temporarily prohibit any vehicle proceeding in the whole length/ section of Enstone Road. Appropriate traffic signs will be displayed to indicate when the measures are in force. Exemptions are included for emergency services, for the works and for access to premises which are only accessible from the closed section of road. The alternative route for traffic is via Browns Lane, Market Street, Thames Street, Nine Acres Lane, Enstone Road and vice versa.
Further fibre optics: Since Monday, another Charlbury road has been closed due to fibre optic cables installation works.
