Cllr Cherry said: “I hear on the doorstep all the time that people are concerned about the condition of roads and pavements in Banbury, so it's welcome news that further improvements are being made to North Bar Street, Horse Fair and the yellow box junction linking Warwick Road, Southam Road and Castle Street.

“I will continue to push the county council to make sure money is spent where it's needed most, while ensuring Oxfordshire's pothole repair data is fully published so every available penny of funding is unlocked."
