- Wheatley Traffic Calming: Phase 2A: Church Road

- South Oxfordshire District Council - Agency for Roundabout Sponsorship
Report by Interim Head of Transport (TIC9).
The report details the background to a proposed scheme to raise the kerb height of the south footway of Church Road, Wheatley (from Holloway Road junction to east of No 84) and widen its narrow sections and summarises comments received in response to a public consultation.
The Committee is RECOMMENDED to authorise implementation of the scheme as set out in the report and Annex 1 to it.
Report by Interim Head of Transport (TIC10).
The report summarises the results of a formal consultation on a weight restriction traffic regulation order on the B4015 Oxford Road, Clifton Hampden.
The Committee is RECOMMENDED to approve the making of a Traffic Regulation Order to prohibit the driving of vehicles weighing over 7.5T on the B4015 Oxford Road in the parish of Clifton Hampden from a point 25 metres south of the Notcutts Garden Centre to its junction with the A415.
Report by Interim Head of Transport (TIC11).
In 2003/04 South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) carried out a Best Value Review of Public Space. A key recommendation of that review was for SODC "To work in partnership with Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) in establishing a scheme of commercial sponsorship for roundabouts" with the intention of improving the local environment.
The SODC Best Value Action Plan contains an action to "Establish a commercial sponsorship scheme for roundabouts and identify potential roundabouts to be sponsored". Discussions have taken place since 2003 between OCC and SODC officers with a view to agreeing a way of taking this action forward.
The Committee is RECOMMENDED that:
- an Agency Agreement be entered into with South Oxfordshire District Council for the sponsorship, enhancement and maintenance of roundabouts;
- powers to administer the Agency Agreement be delegated to the Strategic Director for Environment & Economy.
- Abingdon Integrated Transport Strategy Town Centre Improvements – Traffic Regulation Order
Report by Interim Head of Transport (TIC12).
The report considers the responses to a public consultation on two traffic regulation orders required for Phase 1 of the above scheme.
The Committee is RECOMMENDED to authorise the making of Traffic Regulation Orders:
- revoking the Stratton Way one-way Order; and
- prohibiting right turns into and out of Bath Street at its junction with Stratton Way.
- A40/Witney Road, Eynsham – Prohibition of Right Turn
Report by Interim Head of Transport (TIC13).
The report considers comments received to the proposed prohibition of the right turn out of Witney Road, Eynsham onto the A40. The prohibition is considered necessary so as not to hold up traffic on the A40 when signalisation of the junction, which is designed to improve the flow of traffic on the A40 and to allow buses to turn into Witney Road more quickly is introduced.
The Committee is RECOMMENDED to authorise officers to proceed with the making of the (Witney Road, Eynsham) (Prohibition of Right Turn) Order, as advertised and shown in Annex 1 (download as .doc file) to the report.
