A CAR has been abandoned on a Henley street for more than seven months — and there’s no sign of it being moved. The W-registered Renault Clio was left at the side of Harpsden Road, immediately opposite the junction with Wilson Road, in early June but no one has returned to collect it. At least three residents have reported it to South Oxfordshire District Council, the police and the DVLA.
Network Rail and its former chief executive have objected to plans for a care home in Henley. Developer Henthames, from Essex, wants to build an 80-bed, three-storey complex at the former LA Fitness gym site in Newtown Road, which backs on to the railway line. Network Rail says it would encroach on its land and could affect line upgrades.
