Shiplake: A4155 Reading Road - proposed 30mph speed limit (Reconsultation)

We're asking for your views on the proposal to extend the existing 30mph speed limit on the A4155 Reading Road at Shiplake northwards by an additional 44 metres, which is being put forward as a result of the development of adjacent land at the former Wyevale Garden Centre for residential purposes. The development will see the construction of a new access junction, with a likely increase in traffic in the area, and is in accordance with the relevant S106 agreements.

These proposals mirror those previously consulted in April 2024 (see here for details) & subsequently approved by the Cabinet Member for Transport Management in May 2024, and are being re-considered due to expiration of the statutory two-year period within which to implement.

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 23 October 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).
