WORK on Botley Road is likely to slow down motorists on their way to and from Oxford city centre from tomorrow.

Delays are likely because of Thames Water undertaking emergency sewer works. Multi-way signals will be set up at the junction of Ferry Hinksey Road. Work is scheduled to be finished on Wednesday. 

The delays are likely to compound motorists' misery, who would have been slowed down as a result of the work further down on Frideswide Square anyway.

The county council, which is in charge of that, has said that should be finished by March 28.
