EMERGENCY sewer repairs less than half a mile from one of Oxford’s largest secondary schools could cause disruption all next week.

Thames Water need to urgently fix a sewer pipe, which is three metres below the road, at the junction with Gillians Way and Cowley Road near St Gregory the Great school.

Three-way traffic lights will be in place from 7am and 7pm and these will be marshalled to keep traffic flowing and disruption to a minimum.

The utilities firm said the job is expected to take around a week.
