This consultation has now concluded.

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 40mph speed limit on part of the A339 Rycote Lane, southwest of Thame. The proposals - which are being put forward for road safety reasons - will reduce the existing 50mph speed limit between the A418 roundabout junction and a point 425 metres west of Moreton Road. This will help better manage the speed of traffic in the vicinity of the new commercial development adjacent to the north side of the road at the Christmas Hill Business Park.

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 18 February 2022.

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 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).
