Decision details

To seek approval as to whether the experimental restrictions ends in February 2022 or is made permanent.

Cabinet endorsed the decision taken by the Cabinet Member for Travel & Development Strategy on 5 January 2022:

a)            APPROVE officers to consider the costs and benefits of developing area wide restrictions across Oxfordshire including close working with neighbouring authorities, as part of the county wide freight strategy, as soon as practicable. Noting any future approval of area wide weight restrictions would likely see existing environmental weight restrictions revoked subject to consultation.

b)            REVOKE the Burford Experimental Traffic Regulation Order of 7.5t weight restriction. Therefore, not making a permanent order.
