Our contractors Bicester Sweepers spent a long day on Monday sweeping a large amount of leaves from many of the roads in the estate.
They brought two 4-tonne capacity sweepers, which were each filled twice (dumping and then returning). The wet weather did not help, as it added to the bulk of the leaves and made it more difficult to sweep.
Work was suspended for the day at nightfall. And still there are more leaves to collect!
Please note that the following roads have not yet been swept: Sandy Rise, Lewis Lane and the lower part of Chiltern Hill.
Bob Burge from the Roads Committee has called Bicester Sweepers to make a further booking to finish the work, and we await a date for the job to be completed. Residents will be advised once we have the exact date.
