A PETITION with more than 300 signatures was presented to Oxfordshire County Council on Tuesday after a bus route was rerouted away from Ardington and Lockinge along the A417.

From Monday, Thames Travel’s No 32 between Wantage and Abingdon no longer serves the village, with some X47 Buses operated by RH Buses instead providing a limited link with Wantage.

Villagers want the council to reinstate the former No 32 service.
