I WAS not surprised to see workmen beavering away two or three days prior to the Queen’s visit to Christ Church Cathedral on Maundy Thursday.
They were filling in many of the potholes in the London Road in Headington that users of this main route into the city have been waiting for ages to be repaired.
When the Queen has come to Oxford in the past by car, she usually comes this way as it is the direct route from the M40/A40.
I suspect Oxfordshire County Council was so worried to think that Her Majesty would be shocked to encounter the poor state of this road and would not want the suspension on her royal run-about ruined.
The irony was that, when the Queen and Duke did arrive, it was by helicopter!
