Limited access to Otmoor Wednesday 10th February
Storm Imogen didn't just blow the staff about at Otmoor on Monday it also caused a little bit of damage to some of the trees along Otmoor Lane!
As a result (and some of you may have already noticed this) some of the trees along the lane are extremely low and some have lost branches on the road. To remedy this there will be a tree surgeon working at the end of Otmoor Lane on Wednesday morning (10th February) so if you were planning on coming down it may be better to wait until the afternoon or postpone for another day.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and thanks in advance for bearing with us whilst this is sorted out!
