Didcot: A4130 Hadden Hill & Abingdon Road - proposed highway & traffic improvements

We're asking for your views on the proposals to introduce various highway & traffic improvements on the A4130 Hadden Hill/Abingdon Road in Didcot, which have been put forward as a result of the development of land north & east of, and adjacent to the A4130 for residential purposes. Specifically, the proposals comprise of the following measures:

• extension of the existing 30mph speed limit on the A4130 Hadden Hill,
• the provision of new toucan crossings (signal-controlled crossings for use by both pedestrians and pedal cyclists),
• new bus stop facilities with clearway restrictions, and
• the widening of existing sections of footway to create both segregated & shared cycleway/footways.

The proposals are in accordance with the approved S.106 agreement/planning obligations , and are aimed at increasing safety and convenience for vehicles as well as improved facilities for buses, pedestrians and cycles, and with the segregation of the more vulnerable highway users, this will encourage more confident use of alternative means of transport.

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 19 June 2026.

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 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).
