9:40am Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News
Two more cases of Ash dieback have been found in Oxfordshire.
The cases, one north of Banbury and the second near Chipping Norton, are on recently-planted sites and not in the wider environment, according to the Forestry Commission, which declined to identify the sites more closely.
In November, more than 300 ash trees had to be destroyed at the Kingsmere development near Bicester.
