OXFORD - Oxford County Council have adopted the Community Safety Well-being plan.
7 of the 8 area municipalities had previously agreed to the plan that focuses on 4 key areas.
Oxford County Warden Marcus Ryan explains, "The Province of Ontario requires municipalities to have a community safety well-being plan. In Oxford, all the area municipalities decided to join together and have one collective plan. It was developed with input from all of those community groups, all the municipalities, we had a survey of residents of Oxford County to say here is the plan to make people safer and more well."
The four key areas of focus are social development, prevention, risk intervention, and incident response. Norwich Township is the only municipality in Oxford yet to adopt the plan.
A reconstruction project will soon start in Woodstock.
Dundas Street will be closed from the 11th line to Mill Street. Work is set to begin in March and Warden Ryan provides information on what to expect: "Work will be happening on Dundas and Mill out to eleven in three phases. The road will be closed in both directions with detours in place. The only thing worse than construction is not doing that reconstruction on the road. The road needs it, and anybody that drives it every day will know that."
There will be a public information meeting held on February 26th. Weather depending the hope is to have the project completed by November of 2026.
