MOTORISTS in southern Oxfordshire faced long delays on their commute this morning.

Queueing traffic eastbound on the A417 from Wantage through to East Hendred led Oxfordshire County Council to warn 'avoid if at all possible'. 

Roadworks are in place around the A417 at White Road, with temporary lights in use.
