''As you will have seen on the news we are due some wet and windy weather again this weekend. 

The latest reports indicate that wind speeds will be slightly lower than last week but rainfall is likely to be heavier so there is an increased chance of flooding.  Oxfordshire County Council is working closely with all our partners to monitor the situation and prepare for the weekend.  As a reminder there are some numbers that you can call to report weather related issues if you become aware of them.

Planning is now under way for Fun in the Park, taking place on Saturday 6th June 2020 from 11am to 3pm.

The Mayor of Abingdon, Cllr Charlie Birks is hosting a Charity evening on Friday 27th March 2020 in The Abbey Hall, Guildhall to raise money for his two chosen charities: The Abingdon Bridge and SHIFT.

There will be music from Saving Cathren and The Fallen Angels and there will be bar available for refreshments.

Tickets are £10 each and are available from the Town Council Offices on Bridge Street.

This event is open to all so please get your ticket today for what is sure to be a fantastic evening!

Patients urged to help the NHS help them this winter

Winter is traditionally the busiest time of year for the NHS, and so patients are being reminded to only use Emergency Departments in Oxford in an emergency.

There are a range of alternative options available for non-emergency situations to ensure you get the appropriate care you need, and save an unnecessary trip to the Emergency Department.

What’s available?

We are delighted to announce that samplers on loan from Culham Parochial Church of England School are now exhibited at Abingdon Museum Attic Gallery until 29th March 2020. The display shows some pieces of embroidery made by pupils at Culham Parochial School in the past.
