Holton/Wheatley: A40 London Road - proposed 'gap' closure

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a Traffic Regulation Order to support the currently gated closure of the crossover gap in the central reservation of the A40 London Road dual carriageway, which serves the junction with the B4027 Wheatley Road to Forest Hill.

The existing offset ‘gap’ through the barrier in the central reservation will remain permanently closed (with the current gated feature to be kept under review) in order to maintain & ensure public safety, and help reduce incidences of misuse.

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 12 September 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).
