Thames towpath section in Oxford to close for repairs
About 120m (393 ft) will be subject to piling work, which involves structural piles being driven into the ground to provide strength where the soil is weak or unstable.Mr Gant said the work formed "part of our commitment to invest in the county's blue-green infrastructure [waterways and green spaces]"."We realise how popular this towpath is, both as a sustainable route into the city as well as for the many walkers who enjoy strolling along the riverside," he continued."But the safety of users and workers is our priority and so we ask people to be patient and observe the closure."The council said a combination of signed diversionary routes and local towpath width reductions would be in place until the repairs were completed.

Firefighters tackle huge blaze involving 20 tonnes of tyres
Homes have been evacuated as firefighters tackle a huge blaze involving 20 tonnes of tyres in West Bromwich. The West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) has said four factory units on Great Bridge Street are involved in the blaze but there have been no injuries. The WMFS initially said it was dealing with a fire involving a single-storey factory, measuring approximately 100m by 100m, after it was called at around 10.40am on Sunday morning. Images show a huge black plume of smoke billowing from the site, with firefighters tackling the flames from aerial ladder platforms. Fifteen fire engines were sent to the scene, with a high-volume pump which used water from a nearby canal brought into help put out the blaze. West Midlands Police co-ordinated the evacuation of several homes on nearby Elwell Street as "a precaution", the WMFS said. The fire service has been working with police to ensure "local residents affected by the evacuation, and businesses, are kept safe". A structural engineer has been at the scene of the fire due to structural concerns and a partial collapse in one area. The engineer will "make an assessment", the WMFS said. Gas and electricity engineers have been at the scene to isolate affected supplies where possible, the fire service added. The cause of the fire has not yet been reported. WMFS said in an update on Sunday: "Some fire investigations have taken place, with further investigations expected tomorrow (Monday), when it is safe to do so. "Regular multi-agency briefings are taking place and we expect to continue to remain in attendance for some time." WMFS said at around 10pm on Sunday that local residents who had been evacuated were "expected to be able to return to their homes shortly". However, people living in the area were still advised to keep their doors and windows closed due to the huge amount of smoke in the area. WMFS said it has been supported by representatives from National Grid, Severn Trent, the Environmental Agency and Sandwell Council in its response to the blaze.

Great Northern trains halted by shrinking peat affecting tracks
Rail services are being disrupted as engineers stabilise tracks affected by the ground moving in recent hot Rail said peat soil under the Fen Line between Ely in Cambridgeshire and King's Lynn in Norfolk had shrunk, causing the track to drop and become apologised to passengers, blaming the problem on "the driest spring in more than 50 years".Buses will replace trains on Great Northern services from 21:00 BST on Monday until Friday morning. The following Great Northern services will be affected by the work:The last train to King's Lynn will be the 19:39 service from London King's CrossThe last train from King's Lynn will be the 20:42 service to London King's CrossThe first service to depart King's Lynn each morning will be the 05:14 service to London King's Cross Network Rail said the "urgent late-night engineering work" was needed to improve the condition of the track, and while speed restrictions were in place to keep trains running safely, services sometimes needed to be amended or reduced because of the longer journey times. "The aim of the work being carried out by Network Rail on the Fen Line is to try to limit the effects on Great Northern services," it said."Engineers will use machines called tampers to lift the track, push ballast underneath and create a solid foundation so that trains can run smoothly."This type of work was already planned... with train services finishing earlier, but tamping will now be taking place for around an extra hour each night to make the maximum impact."Network Rail apologised to passengers for the inconvenience, but added: "In the last two years we have dropped 25,800 tonnes of ballast on this part of the line to try to minimise the effects of peat shrinkage, but an exceptionally dry spring this year has meant that it hasn't been possible to eliminate track issues."
