While I know many were hoping for an earlier date, I want to be clear that there are no plans to extend the current Temporary Traffi c Regulation Order (TRO), and all restrictions on the through route will be lifted the following weekend. This means that the full route from Tickford Roundabout to Junction 14 will be open and accessible from Monday, 1st September. Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding.Wishing everyone a great summer, be mindful of extreme heat, and let us all watch out for those who are vulnerable in the communities.Mayor Debbie Whitworth on Olney Rec with emergency servicesLocal Events Round-Up It%u2019s been a busy month of events and community celebrations, and the sunshine has been on tap (like the beer!)with thanks to Tracy Collings, Helen Billingham and Reon Lewis for the Beer Festival imagesBELL & BEAR BEER FESTIVALWIMBLEDON ON THE LAWNOLNEY RIVERFESTNEWPORT PAGNELL CARNIVAL
