    Depending on the situation with Covid 19 we are going to celebrate VJ Day on Saturday 15 August to remember the final day of World War II. It is anticipated to put on an exhibition entitled 'Forgotten crafts'. The reasoning behind this is that those fighting the Japanese in Burma etc were known as the 'Forgotten Army' so it will be a reminder of those brave men. Timed slots will be available between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.To book your place please contact Diane Blackett on 01367-860504 or e mail: r.d.blackett@hotmail.co.uk. Keep safe.

    The effect of the Order is to temporarily prohibit any vehicle proceeding or

    in force.
    Exemptions are included for police, fire and ambulance services and for the
    works and for access to premises which are only accessible from the closed
    section of road.
    The alternative route for traffic will be signed via Filkins, Burford and Carterton
    and vice versa. .
    This Order will remain in force for a maximum period of 18 months or until the
    works have been completed whichever is the sooner.

    BUS ROUTE WHILE ROAD WORKS ARE ON GOING

    The Parish Council are negotiating with Pulhams as to why the 64 bus is not stopping in Filkins currently.

    We have been told that they are not aware that they can come off A361 and drive through the village and re join - although 2 buses a day which serve Burford School already do this.

    We are doing everything we can to get this reinstated as soon as possible.

    The Villager bus service will continue to run on Wednesday – timings as below

     

    Outbound (timings approximate) Return (timings approximate)

    Filkins 9.40

    Carterton 9.55
