Roadworks in 2019

Roadworks in Headington continue to affect access to the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre.

For the full plan, and to sign up for email updates, please see: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/accessheadington

Please do not drive unless you have no other option: parking space is very limited and there is no on-street parking nearby. If you have no alternative, please allow one hour to find a space. We strongly advise you to make every possible effort to travel by other means.
