Cllr Russell reported that on Friday 27 May between 6pm & 7pm she was taking her children to a club in Milton under Wychwood and tried to drive along the Shipton Road, but this was blocked by the Swan – there were bar stools in the road, a delivery lorry parked adjacent. She waited for several minutes before having to get out of her car and clear the access. The Clerk was asked to draft a letter to the Swan explaining this was not only unacceptable, but illegal.
