Abingdon: Twelve Acre Drive- proposed Toucan crossing & bus stop clearways

We're asking for your views on the proposal to construct a new Toucan Crossing (signal-controlled crossing for use by both pedestrians & pedal cyclists) to be located on Twelve Acre Drive, approx.60 metres east of the eastern junction of Russel Avenue (access to the new residential development).

Additionally, two new bus stop Clearways with associated ‘No Stopping except local buses’ restrictions will also be introduced on both sides of Twelve Acre Drive:

1. on the northern side, east of the eastern junction of Russel Avenue (access to the new development), and
2. on the southern side, west of the western junction of Russel Avenue.

The proposals are being put forward as a result of the planning permissions granted for the new residential housing development to the north of Twelve Acre Drive.

Have your say.

Please read the detailed information provided on this consultation and take the time to complete the survey as your views and opinions matter. Your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 05 December 2025.

Whilst we will endeavor to answer simple queries during the course of the consultation, any more complex questions/issues will be appraised and dealt with as part of consultation process.

What happens next?

The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for later in 2025/early in 2026. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports for meetings will be made available on the Oxfordshire County Council web site about a week before the meeting (please note that occasionally it is necessary to defer reports to a later meeting, and it is therefore advisable to check the agenda ahead of attending a meeting).
