Oxford: First Turn & Godstow Road - proposed parking restrictions & Zebra crossing

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a Zebra crossing (crossing for use by pedestrians only) on First Turn in Oxford. The proposals are being put forward as a result of road safety concerns raised in the vicinity of Wolvercote Primary School, and will see the introduction of 'No Waiting at Any Time' parking restrictions (double yellow lines) to help facilitate the crossing. Additionally, it is also proposed to construct two pedestrian refuge islands on Godstow Road to help further increase safety for pedestrians in the area.

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 Friday 19 November 2021.

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 2021/early in 2022. 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.
