Police in Oxfordshire seized a red HGV believed to be linked to plant machinery theft, prompting an investigation by the Thames Valley Police rural crime taskforce. Officers also arrested a man for harassment while assisting another police unit. A separate recent theft of golf clubs in Didcot is noted but not considered connected to the machinery case.

Survey results from NHS England rank Oxfordshire GP surgeries, with Wychwood Surgery receiving the highest patient satisfaction and Luther Street Medical Practice recording the lowest proportion of positive responses despite limited participation. Several other practices, including Berinsfield, Cropredy and Sibford, scored highly, while Temple Cowley, Nuffield Health and Woodlands Medical Centre received more negative feedback. The data also shows a continued rise in online GP contact and stable appointment wait-time satisfaction, with most recent consultations conducted face to face.
