Hempton: B4031 Hempton Road - proposed traffic calming

We're asking for your views on the proposal to construct traffic calming features on the B4031 Hempton Road in Hempton, which are being put forward to help improve road safety by reducing the speed of motor vehicles entering the village. Specifically, the proposals comprise of:

• Kerbed build-outs (each to be approx. 3m* long by 1.5m - 2m* wide) to be located:
  • Eastern end – on the westbound carriageway, approx. 42m west of the junction with Snakehill Lane, and
  • Southwestern end – on the eastbound carriageway, approx. 42m southwest of the junction with Duns Tew Road.

The build outs will reduce the width of the carriageway to approx. 4 metres and will be accompanied by additional signs and lining improvements, with priority given to traffic exiting the village, i.e. travelling south-westwards at the southwestern end, and eastwards at the eastern end.

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 13 December 2024.

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 2024. 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).
