Statement from the Leader of Vale of White Horse District Council on further delays to reopening of the Botley Road

Following confirmation this week the Botley Road in Oxford will remain closed beyond the end of August, Leader of Vale of White Horse District Council, Cllr Bethia Thomas, has expressed her deep frustration and incredulity at the further delays to the long-promised reopening. Botley Road in Oxford was originally on schedule to reopen at the end of August 2026 – almost two years later than the original timetable deadline.
