ROAD resurfacing works have forced bus changes in Covingham this week.

Work to improve Sywell Road, Covingham, began yesterday and is expected to continue until late on Thursday August 24.

During the closure, Thamesdown's number 23 bus service will be diverted between Stratton's Sainsbury's superstore and Covingham Drive via the White Hart Roundabout and Merlin Way.

It means that the 23 bus will not stop at the following stops: White Hart, Whilestone Way, Sandgate, Nythe Road Shops, Towcester Road, Corinium Way and Vespasian Way.

Thamesdown have advised bus passengers to use a special stop at Sywell Road in Covingham Drive and at Sandgate, on Oxford Road, for the Stagecoach 66 service into the town centre.
