Over the past years there have been fairly frequent calls for rerouting the heavy goods vehicles away from Chipping Norton. This has now come up again, and unfortunately it would mean the road past the Stone circle would have to be widened with all the unfortunate consequences that would entail. There is to be a public meeting on Saturday to discuss the alternative plans that have been proposed.
Chipping Norton air quality consultation
The next consultation day for the above draft Action Plan will be on Saturday, 1 March, 10am to 2pm at the Town Hall, Chipping Norton.

Heritage Action opposes the widening of the road because it would have a destructive effect on the stones and the extra noise would totally destroy the ambience of the place.
