TWO sets of roadworks will take place on the A40 London Road, Headington, from Monday after work was delayed.

Resurfacing and road widening work from Thornhill park-and-ride to Green Road roundabout was due to finish in mid December but will continue to the end of January as underground cables need to be relocated.

This work has involved closing feeder lanes from the A40 to the Eastern By-pass at the Green Road roundabout from mid-October.

Delays mean work will continue while a planned second phase starts on Monday for 500m from Wharton Road to Northfield Road.

Selma Harb, owner of Roundway Pharmacy near the roundabout, said: “It’s dreadful at the moment with one set of roadworks, there’s no telling how bad it’s going to be with two.

“We deliver prescriptions to patients at Douglas Veale House care home and it’s virtually impossible currently.

Oxfordshire County Council, which is carrying out the £2.1m project, had yet to comment.
