Chipping Norton: Banbury Road - proposed 40mph speed limit

We're asking for your views on the proposal to extend the existing 40mph speed limit on the Banbury Road north-eastwards out of Chipping Norton, replacing the existing 60mph National Speed Limit in the process. The proposals are being put forward as a result of the development of adjacent land south of ‘Hit or Miss Farm’ for residential purposes.

Additionally, as part of s106 obligations, two new Bus stop clearways (with associated ‘No Stopping except for buses’ restriction) will be located on either side of the Banbury Road (south of access to the farm), with an informal crossing point also included.

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 02 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).
