居民在防洪计划期间寻求对牛津电路道路的法律保护。 Residents seek legal protection for Oxford’s Electric Road path amid flood defense plans.

牛津的Botley居民正在推动建立电路,这是一条在Botley与北、南Hinksey之间的大众步行和骑自行车的公路,被官方正式承认为公共通行权。 Residents in Botley, Oxford are pushing to have the Electric Road, a popular walking and cycling path between Botley and North and South Hinksey, officially recognized as a public right of way. 尽管环境局计划建立防洪防洪系统,作为预计于2026年底开始的1.76亿英镑防洪计划的一部分,但这项运动旨在确保这条路线仍然可以通行。 The campaign aims to ensure the route remains accessible despite the Environment Agency’s plans to build flood defences as part of a £176 million flood alleviation scheme, expected to start in late 2026. 虽然该机构已承诺在建设期间这条道路将保持畅通,但当地人和南辛克西教区理事会希望正式指定,以保障长期的公众进出,保护这条道路今后不受干扰。 While the agency has pledged the path will stay open during construction, locals and South Hinksey Parish Council want formal designation to guarantee long-term public access and protect the route from future disruptions.
