Some things never change… especially the traffic on Oxford’s Ring Road! 😂

This fantastic photograph takes us back to what looks like the late 1980s or early 1990s, with a wonderful collection of cars, vans, motorcycles and even a caravan, all going absolutely nowhere fast!

The vehicles might have changed, and the road signs might look a little different, but one thing is certain – Oxford’s traffic jams are nothing new!

For anyone who remembers driving around Oxford back then, does this bring back memories? And can you identify any of the cars in the picture?

Perhaps the biggest question is – has the traffic actually got any better in all these years? 😂

Come and have a chat with us! 😊

Kelli and Tanya, two of Barton Community Association’s trustees, are holding an informal trustee drop-in session at Barton Neighbourhood Centre.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions about BCA and the Centre, or just have a friendly chat!

Everyone is welcome, so please do pop along. We look forward to seeing you!

See the poster for details.
