20mph Speed Limit
Here reproducing the email received from Oxfordshire County Council regarding a potential 20mph speed limit through North Newington.
RE: CONSULTATION – North Newington proposed 20mph Speed Limits
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.
We’re therefore asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit throughout North Newington, replacing the existing 30mph speed limit in its entirety in the process. 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 attached:
Public Notice,
Statement of Reasons,
Consultation Plan(s), and
Draft Traffic Regulation Order.
The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is scheduled to be advertised in the Banbury Guardian newspaper today; Thursday 14th September 2023, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal at the address below:
