Villagers are being asked if they want a rural bus service to be extended to take in more communities.

A bus makes return trips twice a day, six days a week between Bicester and Banbury, serving Somerton, Fritwell and Souldern.

But it does not stop in Upper or Lower Heyford, and, following pressure from villagers, district councillor Dick Makepeace has put a form in the Valley News magazine, asking people to say whether they want the bus to stop.

Cllr Makepeace said: "Heyford Park has a growing population and not everyone there might have access to a car."
