Great Western Railway have submitted plans to improve Hanborough Station. A proposal, subject to final costs, is for a new ticket office, a waiting room and a toilet. GWR are also looking to house a small retail outlet in the building. This would be a huge improvement as the station currently doesn't have any facilities at all. The modular building was previously used at Abbey Wood station on the North Kent line but it became redundant with the opening of the new Crossrail st

Residents, parents and Bartholomew School in West Oxfordshire have worked with Oxfordshire County Council to improve school transport arrangements between Long Hanborough and Bartholomew School.

Some good news for residents in West Oxfordshire as Oxfordshire County Council recently announced they have approved extra money in their budget for grass cuts in the district. The extra £170,000 which is from a £1.9 million pot of money generated from better than expected business rate income in Oxfordshire, will go a long way to improving our footpaths and junctions this Summer. The extra cutting will target key road junctions in areas across Oxfordshire especially areas li

Liam Walker, the Conservative county council candidate for Hanborough and Minster Lovell has launched his Better Buses campaign. The campaign which focuses on making improvements to the local bus services in West Oxfordshire comes after concerns from local residents about the reduction in services.

I am honoured to have tonight been selected by local members to be the Conservative Candidate for the Hanborough and Minster Lovell division for next years County Council Election. Growing up in the village of Minster Lovell I attended my first Parish Council Meeting at the young age of 17.
