Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy (Highways & Transport) (CMDT8).

As part of the development to provide new roads and infrastructure to the south west of Bicester a new roundabout was being constructed on the A41 to serve the new SW perimeter road and provide a new link eastwards to maintain access to local roads, villages and businesses.  The location of the new roundabout was close to the existing A41 Chesterton junction slip roads and was considered to be a traffic safety issue should the slip road remain open to general traffic once the new roundabout was operational.  The Cabinet Member for Transport therefore considered proposals for a permanent traffic regulation order to close the A41 Chesterton junction slip roads.

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him the Cabinet Member for Transport approved the making of the Oxfordshire County Council (Chesterton) (Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 2011as published.
