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 overseen by the Didcot Town Council. The town belonged of Berkshire until its transfer to Oxfordshire in 1974, due to a boundary modification stipulated in the 1972 Local Government Act, and it came to be a part of the newly-formed South Oxfordshire region. Having an area of 3.27 square miles and a population total of 25 140, it comprises the largest town in the new district. Didcot has been designated as one of three primary progression regions in Oxfordshire, due to such developments as the 'Ladygrove' beginning in the late 1980s. The 'Ladygrove' has involved construction work in the north and east of Didcot's train line on marshland since the late 1980s, and the development is on task to double the amount of households in the town. It is anticipated that the town will proceed to expand due to the decision of a planning enquiry in 2006 that the construction of a 3200 home project to the west of the town will begin after the conclusion of the 'Ladygrove' development. Didcot is widely recognised for its power station, railway and train junction. The town was of strategic value to military logistics throughout World War 1 and World War Two 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 became the first existing town classified as a Garden Town, which is a status that offers funding to support eco friendly and environmentally-friendly town development for 15 years.
