People planning to use Oxfordshire’s household waste recycling centres next month are being warned about a series of short closures to enable essential work to be carried out.
For safety reasons, Oxfordshire County Council will be shutting each of its centres for two days – although never at the same time – to allow for deep cleaning and essential maintenance to take place. This includes jet washing the sites and structures, repainting lines and safety areas, as well as other general work to improve the customer experience.
The closing dates are:
All closures are on quieter weekdays to minimise disruption and sites will reopen at 8am the following day. Residents are asked to plan ahead, ideally holding on to their waste until the site reopens or, if that is not possible, visiting one of the neighbouring sites.
More information can be found on Oxfordshire County Council’s website, including details of your nearest alternative site during the closures.
Residents with van or trailer permits can use these at any of the HWRCs.

OCC want your help to shape their budget.
The County Council is facing a significant funding shortfall of at least £44 million in 2023/24 and they would like as many people as possible to have their say on their budget proposals.
The online survey and supporting consultation booklet at oxfordshire.gov.uk/budgetconsultation is easy to access, is better for the environment and enables the Council to receive responses quickly. Paper copies and alternative formats are available to anyone who need them – email budget@oxfordshire.gov.uk or phone 01865 792422.
The consultation will end on 19 December 2022.
Constituency boundaries are changing, and it’s your final chance to help shape the new map.
The Boundary Commission for England (BCE) is required by Parliament to undertake an independent and impartial review of all constituencies in England, to rebalance the number of electors in each constituency.
Constituency sizes currently vary widely due to population changes since the last boundary review. The new map proposed by the Commission will make sure each constituency has between 69,724 and 77,062 electors, so that each MP represents roughly the same number of electors. The 2023 Boundary Review also requires that the number of constituencies in England increases from 533 to 543.
The Commission has listened to the feedback sent in from the public, and has changed nearly half of the initial proposals published last year. The new revised proposals are now available to view via an interactive map on the consultation website bcereviews.org.uk.
A final public consultation is open now until 05 December and is the last chance to provide your views on new constituency boundaries. The Boundary Commission for England has invited the public to visit bcereviews.org.uk and comment on the proposals via the website, email or letter. Hard copies of the proposals are available to view at public places of deposit listed on the Boundary Commission for England website. You can give your feedback on anything from where the proposed electoral boundaries are, to the suggestions for new constituency names.
To tell the Commission whether the new proposals for constituencies best represent your local community, visit bcereviews.org.uk and have your say before 05 December.
