Community survey results: The Forty

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Parish Council’s recent survey on the summer management of The Forty.

The results showed support for continuing summer meadow management, with 74% of 157 respondents in favour.

At its meeting on 21 January 2026, the Parish Council decided to continue this approach, with paths, borders and the central avenue kept mown throughout the summer. Feedback from residents has also informed plans to review educational signage and install a bench, and we hope to see more wildflowers establish over time.

Cholsey Community Speedwatch (CCSW) is up and running!! This scheme is organised and supported by Thames Valley Police, with the aim to educate drivers and slow traffic down, making Cholsey and other villages safer places for all. Cholsey is looking for more volunteers to join CCSW. Can you help? Training is online and can be done at your leisure, and then when completed there is no set time commitment required, just when you can. Speedwatch sessions are always in groups of three and the exisiting volunteers are friendly and jolly. If you are interested we would love to hear from you. Thank you! (cholseycsw@outlook.com).

📢Didcot – Oxford Rail Line Closure: Buses Replacing Trains (1–8 February 2026)

Major engineering work at Oxford Station means the rail line between Didcot Parkway and Oxford will be fully closed for eight days at the start of February. All services on this stretch will be replaced by buses. We are advised to check National Rail journey planners before travelling.

Why is this happening?
Network Rail is demolishing and replacing the Botley Road railway bridge, installing infrastructure for Oxford’s new Platform 5, and carrying out work required for the Oxford Station Enhancement Project.

• Closure dates: Sunday 1 February – Sunday 8 February 2026
• All trains between Didcot Parkway and Oxford are cancelled
• Replacement buses will operate:
• 2 buses per hour non‑stop Didcot to Oxford
• 1 bus per hour calling at Radley
• CrossCountry will run buses between Didcot, Oxford and Banbury
• Rail replacement services depart from the front of Didcot station and Becket Street long‑stay car park in Oxford

Railway bridge replacement: buses replace trains between Didcot Parkway and Oxford / Banbury from Sunday 1 to Sunday 8 February. See details of routes affected by planned rail engineering works, including when they take effect, alternative timetables, advice for alternative travel, including info ab...

🌿 Station Road Boundary Hedge Rejuvenation – Starting December 2025 🌿

Cholsey Parish Council will soon begin important rejuvenation work on the boundary hedge between the Station Road Allotments and the Station Road footpath.

This project will involve cutting back the hedge and removing dead wood, brambles, and ivy. Although it may look drastic at first, this is an essential part of good hedgerow management. Rejuvenation encourages healthy new growth, increases stem density, and helps the hedge thrive for many more years. We are also taking a phased approach to rejuvenating the hedges we manage, to minimise the impact on wildlife as far as possible.

Where gaps have formed, we’ll be planting new native hedging to strengthen the boundary for the future.

Most work will take place from the allotment side, but some activity will be required along the footpath. Please take care when walking in this area and follow any safety notices.

Work is scheduled to begin early December 2025 in order to avoid nesting season.

Thank you for your understanding as we carry out this work🌱
