Just as mystery knitters have been bombarding Oxfordshire with their creations, someone has 'yarn bombed' an LTN in Divinity Road.

And a cyclist reported: "Separately, I'm pretty sure there were two when I came through at 1.30pm."

The East Oxford Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) have been controversial since they were implemented.

Since they were installed on May 20 as part of a six-month trial around Divinity Road, St Clement's and St Mary's, planters have been repeatedly vandalised and bollards knocked down and pulled out of the ground.

At the beginning of July, two bollards were allegedly set on fire overnight.

Images taken in Howard Street show the damaged bollard melted and out of shape.

Residents and councillors have criticised the vandalism but others said the actions simply represent the feelings of those being ‘ignored’ by the county council.
