Banbury: Land West of Southam Road - proposed 20mph speed limit

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit on the new Roads comprising the ‘Sanctuary Housing’ development located to the west of the A423 Southam Road in Banbury, leading out to the Eastern access road junction with the A423 Southam Road, and the Southern access road junction with Dukes Meadow Drive. The proposals are being put forward as a result of the new roads having been designed with a 20mph speed limit in mind, helping ensure a level of self-enforcement within the estate.

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 Friday 21 October 2022. Oxfordshire County Council will collate all correspondence and comments received in response to this consultation, and they may be disseminated widely for these purposes and made available to the public.

Whilst we will endeavour 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 2022 or early 2023. 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, the Forward Plan of decisions meetings can be viewed here.
