Ambrosden: Blackthorn Road - proposed parallel crossing

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a Parallel Crossing (combined pedestrian & cycle crossing) on Blackthorn Road in Ambrosden, located approx. 55 metres* east of its junction with Ploughley Road. The crossing will consist of a zebra crossing (for pedestrian use only) with an adjoining parallel priority cycleway.

The proposals are being put forward in order to provide a safe crossing point for Pedestrians and Cyclists from existing shared cycleway, and are part of the S278 (legal agreement) Improvement works associated with the Mulberry Homes residential development.

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 09 May 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. 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).
