RESIDENTS in Fairacres Road are being plagued by drivers trying to cut between Iffley Road and Donnington Bridge Road, Oxford - only to find their way is blocked.

City councillor Elise Benjamin said she had been approached by Fairacres Road Residents' Association members who reported a near-collision involving a motorist who was trying to use the road as a short cut.

She said: "We used to have a problem which is why it was blocked off but it seems to have arisen again."
