Thanks to funding from Active Travel England, the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans) are repairing failing verges between Thame and Towersey on the Phoenix Trail/National Cycle Route 57, making the path safer for everyone to use.
The path will be closed between Howland Road B4012 and Chinnor Road (Towersey) to all users from Monday 24th August for a period of approximately 3 weeks.
A diversion will be signed via Eastern Bypass, Thame Road and Chinnor Road however this will not be suitable for all users due to busy/fast roads and limited footways.
Please plan ahead for your journeys. The Walk Wheel Cycle Trust apologise in advance for the inconvenience this will cause.
Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is the charity making it possible for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle. To find out more please visit their website or email them: [email protected]
