We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit within Fordwells (located between Asthall Leight & Field Assarts), replacing the 60mph National speed limit on the unnamed roads running though Fordwells, leading to Leafield, and leading to Swinbrook.
Additionally, the existing 20mph speed limit on the unnamed road running through Asthall Leigh will be extended further northwards, covering the residential dwellings at the northern end.
The proposals have been put forward to help improve road safety on local roads
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 01 May 2026.
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 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). The Forward Plan of decisions meetings can be viewed here.
