Didcot
Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the county of Oxfordshire. Despite the fact it is a parish, it has the status of a town, being administered by the Didcot Town Council. The town was a part of Berkshire until its shift to Oxfordshire in 1974, thanks to a boundary change defined in the 1972 Local Government Act, and it became a part of the newly-formed South Oxfordshire district. Having an area of 3.27 square miles and a population total of 25 140, it constitutes the largest town in the new district. Didcot has actually been branded as one of 3 significant development areas in Oxfordshire, due to such developments as the 'Ladygrove' commencing in the late 1980s. The 'Ladygrove' has actually featured development work in the north and east of Didcot's railway line on marshland from the late 1980s, and the development is on task to double the amount of properties in the town. It is predicted that the town will continue to expand due to the decision of a planning enquiry in 2006 that the development of a 3200 home project to the west of the town will commence after the conclusion of the 'Ladygrove' development. Didcot is frequently recognised for its power station, railway and train junction. The town was of strategic importance to military logistics through World War 1 and World War 2 because of Didcot's junction of the routes to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton using the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DN&S). In 2015, Didcot came to be the first existing town classified as a Garden Town, which is a status that presents funding to support sustainable and environmentally-friendly town development for 15 years.
