Oxfordshire County Council have chosen Eynsham Hall, North Leigh, Witney, OX29 6PN as the venue for the Public Inquiry regarding the compulsory purchase of lands for the Cogges Link Road. The inquiry is due to commence at 10:00 on Tuesday 20th September 2011 and is scheduled to run for 2 weeks.

We do not think that Eynsham Hall, which is 3 miles from Witney and would require a half-mile walk from the bus-stop to the Eynsham Hall entrance, is a suitable venue for a PUBLIC INQUIRY for a road that is proposed to be built in the middle of Witney.

If you agree that this venue is far too remote from the town centre and will be inconvenient for the majority of Witney Residents, then

PLEASE OBJECT URGENTLY by writing to

This is our LAST chance to STOP this ridiculous scheme, please ask your friends and neighbours and anyone you know who is against the scheme to write and demand a venue that is convenient for the vast majority of people that it will impact
