Milcombe: New Road - proposed weight limit

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 7.5 tonne goods vehicle weight limit on New Road Milcombe as well as on Newcombe Close & Portland Road leading off, with access being maintained for the purposes of loading/unloading to adjacent properties. The proposal is aimed at reducing the number of inappropriate and large HGV vehicles travelling through the village causing damage to the road surface and edges, and obstruction to the flow of traffic on the narrow 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 14 April 2023.

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 2023. 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).
