Banbury - Speed limit TRO correction

We're seeking views on the proposal to correct an administrative error within the recently made town-wide Banbury speed limit Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) - implemented as part of the countywide 20mph programme - which incorrectly scheduled Castle Street & Cherwell Drive as having a 20mph speed limits, as opposed to retaining their 30mph speed limits.

PLEASE NOTE: The currently installed & signed speed limits - which reflect the speed limits approved at the Cabinet Members Decision meeting on 05th September 2024, and implemented on 13th December 2024 - will remain unaffected by this amendment - with no new limits proposed. These proposals simply seek to ensure the approved speed limits are scheduled correctly in the relevant legal speed limit order. Any comments relating to the implemented change of speed limit may be deemed non-material to this consultation.

Have your say.

Please read the detailed information provided 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 13 June 2025.

Whilst we will endeavor to answer simple queries, any more complex questions/issues will be appraised and dealt with as part of decision making 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).
