Oxfordshire County Council had the idea of setting up a "Home Zone" in Hughes Close and Sturt Close in Charlbury. through the use of chicanes and tree planting the traffic on these streets has been slowed down making is safer for children to play on the street. At the entrance to Hughes close Sturt henge was erected and some words carved into them which a poet and local residents came up with.
The stones themselves look best from behind since the front of the stones have been sawn flat so that the local kids can put graffiti on the stones and it does not take to much effort for the council to get it all off.
