Plans have been published for review on the county council’s digital engagement and consultation platform, Let’s Talk Oxfordshire The road will connect into the existing A4130 Didcot Northern Perimeter Road / Abingdon Road / Ladygrove priority junction The Oxfordshire County Council scheme aims to: Plans include a signalised northern junction that will introduce a new (fourth) arm to the existing A4130 together with crossing provision for pedestrians and cyclists at the junction The scheme also includes a new link that will connect the northern junction with the southern section of the Didcot NPR3 scheme which is to be constructed / delivered by Bloor Homes as part of their Ladygrove East development A 5.6m wide shared footway/cycleway will be included on western extent for the entire route (segregated from traffic) with zebra crossings to be installed at appropriate locations The southern section will connect onto the A4130 Hadden Hill carriageway via a new roundabout arrangement Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Infrastructure and Development Strategy said: “Didcot is growing and will continue to do so This scheme will help to keep everyone moving efficiently by encouraging them to use the A4130 as a ring road around the town “The proposed works aim to improve connectivity around Didcot without the need to travel through the town centre This will also help to make it easier for people to choose walking cycling or taking public transport for short journeys “I encourage people to look at the proposals and help us understand the impact they’ll have We’d like to hear how our proposals could work for local residents or where they may need some changes.” The scheme is being funded through a combination of infrastructure grant funding from Government Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding and Section 106 contributions from developers A public consultation will run between 12 noon on Tuesday 25 February 2025 and 11.59pm on Tuesday 25 March 2025 It will showcase the preliminary design details and proposed layout arrangements The online consultation will also be supported by two drop-in events at the Ladygrove Community

Power Station collapse in which four men died have said the probe is entering its “latter stages” as the ninth anniversary of the tragedy approaches Coleman & Company employees Ken Cresswell died when the 10-storey high boiler house at the former power station collapsed as they were preparing it for demolition Five others were injured in the incident on 23 February 2016 A joint investigation by Thames Valley Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was launched immediately afterwards It is now the longest-running investigation in the history of the police force No one has been charged over the incident and no specific safety lessons have been released to guide the demolition industry Thames Valley Police deputy chief constable Ben Snuggs said the team is “confident that we are moving towards the latter stages of our enquiries” though he said it still cannot put a timeframe on when the investigation will finish Snuggs said the scale of the “highly complex case” is “almost unprecedented” He revealed that detectives have carried out more than 180 hours of video interviews of witnesses and suspects and taken 2,812 statements They have also collated and analysed more than 6,500 exhibits Investigators are looking into possible offences of corporate manslaughter gross negligence manslaughter and Health and Safety at Work Act offences A force spokesperson said “a number of suspects” have been “nominated” and as they do not meet the legal necessity for arrest “The investigation team is working closely with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to progress the investigation but no charging decisions have yet been made," he said Snuggs added: “We remain totally committed to investigating what happened at Didcot and providing the answers the families deserve.” The police comments came after daughters of two of the men spoke about their hopes that they will finally get answers about why their fathers were killed Chris Huxtable’s daughter Tia Huxtable is now 20 years old She told Construction News that her whole world came crashing down on 23 February 2016 and still to this day I don't think I'll ever be able to get over what happened but trying to live with it is a battle and I know I do my dad proud and that’s what keeps me going “I know he sends me all the strength and guidance I need to get through this heartbreak We will not give up until justice is served for our men No one should have to go to work and never return home “I never want this to be forgotten about as the health and safety experts need to make sure that this never happens again,” she said Huxtable added that her father remains her “hero” She told CN: “As a family we are fully committed to supporting Thames Valley Police the HSE and CPS get to the bottom of the case as much now nine years on as we were from February 2016 “All we can do is wait and hope justice prevails at some point for our beloved Ken Cresswell and John Shaw were both from Rotherham Last year Rotherham MP Sarah Champion called for the policing minister to explain why the investigation is taking so long This week she reiterated that the victims’ families deserve to know the truth about what happened “The investigation into the Didcot collapse is of course hugely complex and I do not underestimate just how challenging a task it has been,” she told CN “But the families of the victims have been waiting for nine long years to find out what happened to their loved ones They deserve to know the truth and to see those responsible held to account “I will continue to do all that I can to support them Contractor Coleman & Company, now trading as Colemans, was contacted for comment but did not respond before this article went live. It said in recently released accounts that it “continues to co-operate fully with all involved” in the investigation “Based upon rigorous inquiries undertaken by independent specialists and on professional advice the directors do not believe the company is responsible for the cause of the incident,” it added told CN that representatives would lay flowers at a nearby memorial bench to mark the ninth anniversary She added: “Our thoughts remain with the families of the four men who died in this tragic incident We continue to cooperate fully with Thames Valley Police while the investigations are ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.” A family whose relative died when a crane crashed through the roof… A construction firm has lost its appeal against penalties imposed on it… Three construction bosses have pleaded guilty to taking part in a £2m…  FEMALE APPRENTICES The increase in the number of women completing construction apprenticeships… A construction company has been fined after a kitchen fitter was crushed… Three people have been arrested as part of a Serious Fraud Office… GRAHAM is currently delivering design works on the Didcot major infrastructure scheme for Oxfordshire County Counil including the Didcot to Culham River Crossing and Clifton Hampden Bypass We are keen to speak to local subcontractors and suppliers with an interest in assisting with the delivery of a major highways scheme Register your interest: https://bit.ly/40P2pBW We are a privately owned company with an impressive history built on integrity and responsibility Graham is undertaking detailed design for a river crossing at Culham and the Clifton Hampden bypass elements of the scheme while the detailed design of the Didcot Science Bridge and the widening of the A4130 is being led by AECOM the council’s cabinet member for infrastructure and development strategy said: 'Graham has worked on similar projects around the country and have a high commitment to social value and giving back to the local area Their bid was successful as they understood the scheme and its complexities and how the four elements need to tie together.' Both companies have been working on the council’s plans for some time with Graham signing an early contractor involvement deal in April 2023 The company’s contracts director Andrew Henry said: 'This collaborative approach has enabled us to develop the detailed design for these significant infrastructure projects while actively engaging with third-party stakeholders such as Thames Water and Openreach to co-ordinate necessary utility diversions.' AECOM’s design commission continues an association with the project since the concept and planning stages started in 2019 'Leveraging our in-depth knowledge of the scheme we are committed to collaborating with stakeholders to deliver the best possible outcomes for Didcot and the surrounding area,' said Mark Saunders The Culham River Crossing will comprise a single carriageway link featuring new bridges over the River Thames and the rail line at Appleford while the 2.2km Clifton Hampden Bypass will link the A415 at Culham to the B4015 north of Clifton The second part comprises a dual carriageway on the A1430 east of the Milton Interchange along with a three-span bridge that will cross over the existing A4130 the Great Western mainline railway and Milton Road The scheme was granted planning permission in December 2024 after a 21-day public inquiry and is being funded through two grants from Homes England secured in 2022 and 2024 plus £30m from the council’s capital

Kiera Dimond used to find travelling to school from her home in Didcot a daunting experience The sixth former, aged 18, from Fitzwaryn School meaning doing things independently like travelling on public transport is a real challenge help was available for Kiera through Oxfordshire County Council’s independent travel training The scheme is designed to help young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) use public transport A travel trainer helps them gain knowledge experience in completing their planned route It has boosted Kiera’s self-esteem for her daily journey to such an extent that she offered to be a guide for Councillor John Howson – Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Children Education and Young People’s Services – so he could experience the training first-hand Kiera pointed out aspects she had gone through such as stranger awareness and other practical safety advice including ‘what if scenarios.’ my confidence in travelling on public transport was so low that I couldn’t do it,” explained Kiera a journey I found noisy and lacking the sense of independence I get from being on a bus which has better views out of the windows too my confidence has changed a lot since I began the travel training which feels good and helps me in things like talking to the bus driver and I’m even showing Cllr Howson how I cope on my travel from school “My independent travel trainer has been amazing Nothing has been a problem and nothing is ever an issue I can’t praise the trainer enough and will never forget how their support and kindness has changed my life.” Oxfordshire County Council Cabinet Member for Children so I couldn’t resist the invitation to join Kiera on her journey from school “Kiera pointed out to me that it’s not always the same driver or passengers on board each day particularly when Kiera and other young people on our independent travel training programme are often more comfortable and confident in familiar surroundings She was leading and acting as my guide because it is her route Kiera knows when to press the bell to alight making good use of the digital information screens to identify the correct bus stop I’d like to thank the bus companies and their drivers who support our independent travel training They make our young people and their travel trainers welcome and look out for them throughout their journeys “We are rightly proud of our county’s bus services and it’s brilliant that we are encouraging young people to use public transport through initiatives like this boosting their confidence and their freedom to explore and learn.” Further information about the independent travel training scheme is available on Oxfordshire County Council’s website Planning approval for

£10M contribution from the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership which is derived from business rates retention Map of the four elements of the HIF1 Didcot scheme The HIF1 Didcot scheme consists of four major components: A4130 Widening: This involves transforming the existing single carriageway into a dual carriageway east of the Milton Interchange complemented by 1.6km of segregated walking and cycling paths A new roundabout and a signalised junction will be constructed to improve traffic flow Didcot Science Bridge: A new three-span bridge will be built to span the A4130 This link will also create a connection through the former Didcot A Power Station site back to the A4130 Didcot to Culham River Crossing: This project element will create a single carriageway link between Didcot and Culham integrating new bridges over the River Thames and Appleford Railway sidings along with enhanced walking and cycling facilities Upgrades will also be made to local junctions and bus stops Clifton Hampden Bypass: A new 2.2km single carriageway will connect the A415 at Culham to the B4015 north of Clifton Hampden This will also include pedestrian and cycling amenities with a roundabout
