• The proposed merger of Drayton School and Banbury School: http://www.draytonschoolsos.co.uk - Parents Against Closure of Drayton School. There is a proposal to merge Banbury and Drayton Schools and give the Drayton site to Blessed George Napier School (BGN) (which is currently next door to Banbury School) and combine the BGN/Banbury site into one school. This would involve Drayton pupils having to move to the Banbury School/BGN site, the implications of which include increased travel and dangerous roads to be traversed by the students, the loss of one of the finest school sports facilities in Oxfordshire, and the loss of parental choice of school in the Banbury area. The parents of Drayton School have formed a committe to fight this proposal. For further information or details of how to help please use the above URL.

• Trying to get there from Oxford on the X59 bus is HELL and should be avoided at all costs.
• townie fucks who dont know their arse from their face, and think there better than everyone but secretly know they will have shit lives with 15 kids and no job haaahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
• the council investing in car parks and neglectin facilities for the youth.
• CHERWELL district cOUNCIL!!!!!who does the planning round here, kermit the frog, & traffic abismal- bretch hill- flatten it
• inbred people
• Never go to Banbury. I'm from there but got out a few years ago and have never looked back, however it's a shit hole but it's our shit hole!
• banbury school

• traffic getting into town/work when the school runs happening! very young taxi drivers who think they're Stirling Moss, and have VERY LOUD STEREOS in Rover Coupe's.
• A few Drunks
• house prices
• The arrogant middle classes who if you do not appear to be one of them will look you up and down as though you have just walked out of the swamp Maybe you have. The use of spiceball park as a dogs toilet.
• the banbury cross is cursed it must be destroyed
• Banbury Slappers! They are everywhere!! Usual age to have children in Banbury seems to be 14. You can see them out on the weekend wearing the smallest outfits imaginable and snogging random men outside the kebab shop on the HIgh Street at about 2.00am.
• sometimes you get a feeling of a lack of ambition which is paradoxical considering the economic state of the town and its beautiful rural setting.
• Banbury itself(try Newquay cornwall its better)
• Banbury is a fast developing town, loacl facilities do lag behind a little, however, many new facilities are in the pipe line, including a new multiplex cinema.
• There was never anything to do I doubt thats changed in 25 years I see no evidence on trips back
• Banbury seems to attract pub bores. You know the type, the lorry drivers from up north, the old boys who are turning a bit funny in their old age, and those that try and buy friends. And what's the one thing they've all got in common? Yes, they love talking about themselves and their own small lives.
• Living in fear of seeing your name on the walls of Banury. IE, Danielae lambert is a slag,PC Jim Davies is a tosser,A.Needle RIP Carlos does not pay his drug debts.
• Small town attitudes. The majority of residents have never left Banbury and have no idea what the real/outside world is about. Small-mindedness rules. Oh, if you're felmale expect to be pregnant by 16, 3 kids by 20 with no man. If she has a man its the two earring, white socks variety. Just think, stereotypical Essex in north Oxfordfordshire. No-one has any ambition - Its hell, which is why anyone sensible gets out as soon as they can!
• Road to the M40
• Still a lack of decent places to eat. Full of noisy teens at weekend nights.
• many narrow minded people!!!!
