Report by Director for Infrastructure Delivery (CMDE6).

The report presents responses received in the course of a statutory consultation to reduce the number of pay and display parking places and extend the 20mph speed limit on the A4144 Woodstock Road, Oxford adjacent to the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter. The measures are proposed in conjunction with the redevelopment of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposals as advertised

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered responses received to a statutory consultation to reduce the number of pay and display parking places and extend the 20mph speed limit on the A4144 Woodstock Road, Oxford adjacent to the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter. The measures had been proposed in conjunction with the redevelopment of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter.

The Cabinet Member noted comments received from County Councillor Susannah Pressel who welcomed a 20 mph limit but felt that compliance would be much more likely if all roads in the City were subject to a similar limit. She also found it difficult to see how the proposed cycle provision could be said to meet the standards of the “cycle super route” which had been proposed for Woodstock Road.

Officers confirmed that the scheme would be monitored and that the extended length of speed limit was 250 meters.

Having regard to the information in the report before her and the representations made to her at the meeting the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve proposals to reduce the number of pay and display parking places and extend the 20mph speed limit on the A4144 Woodstock Road, Oxford adjacent to the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter as advertised.
