Recapping 2025, we’ll be looking into the up-to-date story on issues like the Eynsham Park and Ride, the progress on plans for the new Oxford United stadium and what to expect on the Botley Road roadworks in the new year and beyond.
Having a look at some of the past years biggest stories also means we’ll be having a look at incidents including the devastating fire at Bicester Motion which claimed three lives, as well as looking back at a “rotten” year for Thames Water.
