PLANS to improve Oxford Train Station, an application for a church to sell alcohol and the latest road closures are just some of the public notices issued by local authorities in Oxfordshire.
Public notices include planned roadworks, licensing applications and planning notices, and are issued by councils on a daily basis.

The order will authorise Network Rail to compulsorily acquire land and rights, and to use land to facilitate the improvement and upgrade works to create a new western entrance to Oxford Station, additional railway track and platforms, new rail bridges, highway improvements and associated works.
