Notices for Members

280 Bus Reroute

In case you have not heard Arriva have decided effective 13th September 2010 to stop running the 280 bus down Churchway. Instead it will bear left at the Londis/post office stop at the Health Centre and then turn right on to Woodways and continue over the mini round abouts and then straight down Thame Road to the station and on to Thame. The buses from Oxford would follow the reverse route.

The Haddenham Safe Walking and Cycling Group is co-ordinating the response to these plans from the many residents who have concerns and suggestions. You can click here to access the Group's note detailing these concerns, which includes details of how you can register your own opinions
