Cultural quarter for the Oxford

Published: Monday, 21 December 2009

THERE are plans for a 'cultural quarter' by the side of the Oxford Canal in Banbury that is being helped by £60,000 from the council.

The plans include a public open space by the canal, and refurbishing Mill Theatre, with the possibility of a restaurant being included.

The decision follows months of discussions between the district council, Oxfordshire County Council and The Mill management committee.

A new library too could be included which would complement the nearby library, turning the area into the cultural quarter of the town.
