Wantage: Wantage Eastern Link Road (Alfreds Way) - proposed 30mph & 40mph speed limits

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce 30mph & 40mph speed limits on the new Wantage Eastern Link Road (WELR) also known as Alfreds Way, which extends between the A417 Reading Road and the A338 Grove Road to provide an alternative route to passing Wantage to give essential ‘relief’ to the town centre and surrounding road junctions.

Further details on the 'Wantage Eastern Link Road' project can be found here.

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 18 October 2024.

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 2024. 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).
