Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy – Highways & Transport (CMDDL5).

The Deputy Leader of the Council considered (CMDDL5) implementation of a developer funded traffic calming scheme in Jack Straw’s Lane between Marston and Headington in Oxford in the light of responses to a consultation on the scheme.

Marilyn Cox raised two issues.  The first, on behalf of the Jack Straw’s Lane Road Safety Sub-Group, referred to the need for enhanced signing at both ends of the route. The second concerned the need to co-ordinate the county council’s resurfacing work with planned maintenance work by other agencies to address ongoing problems in Jack Straw’s Lane with regard to blocked gulleys and water mains.

Officers agreed that co-ordination was key and advised that they would seek to secure an agreed timeline for work to be carried out and review proposals for signing even though every effort had been made to minimise the impact of signing particularly on such a busy route.

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, the representations made to him and the further considerations set out above the Deputy Leader of the Council confirmed his decision as follows:

to authorise the works as described in the report CMDDL5 and set out in Annex 3 to that report.

Signed

Deputy Leader of the Council
