Oxfordshire County Council wants to make our built environments safer and more attractive places to walk and cycle. To enable this, 20mph speed restrictions are being used to help promote alternative modes of transport for local travel. Further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found here.
Oxfordshire County Council is therefore asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit throughout Newington, replacing the existing 30mph speed limit in the process. The existing 50mph speed limit on the A329 leading southwards from the village will remain in place, with Officers having taken the current road environment & traffic usage into account.
The proposals are being put forward following road safety concerns raised by the parish, and form part of a countywide programme of works that seeks to deliver ‘a safer place with a safer pace’ for the residents of Oxfordshire. In light of this, please find the following consultation documents linked below:
The proposed Traffic Regulation Order has been advertised in the Oxford Times on Thursday 31st August 2023, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal here.
As stated on the notice, any objections or other representations on the proposal should be submitted by Friday 22nd September 2023.
Kind Regards,
Christian
