1. Commuters say they are frustrated at the work being done on the Milton Interchange

MORE than 200 people have signed a petition launched by commuters "sick to death" of crawling to work after the £11 million improvements to Milton Interchange near Didcot.

Frustrated drivers had hoped Oxfordshire County Council's re-vamp would solve all of their traffic woes, but since its re-opening on May 9, they claim they are still experiencing travel nightmares.

Kim Pringle, who started the petition, said she and other local residents had been promised a junction that would reduce traffic and waiting times.

3. Drivers have been left mystified by a hanging bike sign in an Oxfordshire village

DRIVERS in a small North Oxfordshire village could have been forgiven for staring up in confusion after an unusual sight appeared on their roads.

An adult bike, complete with coffin-shaped sign, was spotted dangling from a tree near the entrance to Sibford Heath Farm near Epwell.

The picture was sent in by Sally Smith, who noted that the hanging bike was just three metres from the road - a potential hazard for drivers.

4. Staff at a Witney school created a rather special leaving present for their leavers

TEACHERS and staff at a school in Witney could not stop the feeling as they created a dance video to say farewell to pupils.

With sunshine in their pockets and soul in their feet, the fearless faculty at Wood Green School showed moves Justin Timberlake would salute as they waved goodbye to their Year 11 pupils.

To the hit song "Can't stop the feeling" they created a secret video thanking the GCSE graduates for their hard work over the past year.

The video has gone viral on Youtube and social media with more than 10,000 hits so far.

5. Thames Valley Police are selling some of their lost property items online

If you're looking for a new electric trimmer or set of bath bombs, auction site Ebay might be one of the first places you would like.

But it's unlikely that you'd expect your new purchases to come straight from Thames Valley Police.

In an effort to get rid of some of the items collected through investigations or lost property at police station, the force has set up its own Ebay page selling off a variety of products.
