                                 i.         Kings End, approx.10 metres north of the roundabout junction,

                                ii.         New access road, approx.10 metres east of the roundabout junction, to be sited on a raised table feature.

(c)           Approve the introduction of a new parallel crossing on Middleton Stoney Road, approx.19 metres west of the roundabout junction, as amended since advertisement.

Recommendations approved.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their addresses and responded to their points in turn.

Officers stated they’d provide feedback and investigate with designers about the possibility of having a coloured crossing to aid cyclists’ safety. The current policy was to do this where it was felt necessary.

Officers confirmed there would be no change to accessing the Bicester Village car park if the scheme was to be approved.

The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
