People in Woodstock will get the chance to air their views on a proposed town bypass at a public meeting tonight.

Busy: Traffic in WoodstockExperts will be on hand to talk about the plans at Marlborough School's sports hall, Shipton Road, at 7.30pm. A town poll will be held on Monday, September 24.

The new road would run from the A44 at the Bladon roundabout, through the Glyme Valley, and rejoin the A44 north of Old Woodstock.

The pro-bypass Woodstock Relief Road Support Group said that a bypass would improve the environment for residents along the busy A44.

But the Glyme Action Group said a bypass is not necessary and the Glyme Valley should be protected.

Both groups will address the meeting.
