Wallingford Traffic
People asked for views on one way traffic suggestion for Mill Lane, Wallingford.
People in Wallingford are being asked for their views on an Oxfordshire Highways proposal to make Mill Lane in the town one-way traffic only.
If the proposal goes ahead one-way traffic would apply from Mill Lane’s junction with St Mary’s Street to its junction with Goldsmith’s Lane.
The plan is aimed at increasing road safety and preventing the buildings on each side of Mill Lane being damaged by traffic levels. Buildings on the south side of the road are listed and the road is in a conservation area.
The deadline for comments to be received by the County Council is October 31. Responses should be sent to Brian Short, Area Engineer, Oxfordshire County Council, Milton Road, Drayton, OX14 4EZ.

Upton Fruit Farm
Cider apple harvest
The present 10 acre cider apple orchard was originally planted by Stan Lynch in 1970 and 1971 to provide cider apples to the Taunton Cider Company. The apples were sent down to Somerset each autumn by grain lorry and used to make the well known “Blackthorn Cider”.
In addition, Stan planted a further 6 acres of orchard made up of eating and cooking apples, together with cob nuts. In 1983 Stan decided to start making his own cider on the farm, and the Upton Cider Company was formed. Now all the cider apples go for their own cider production.
