Weston-on-the-Green: B4030 - proposed 30mph & 40mph speed limits

We're asking for your views on the proposal to reduce the existing 40mph speed limit on the B430 Northampton Road (including the section to the A34 southbound slip road) to 30mph, as well as on those remaining residential roads within the village.

Additionally, the existing 40mph on the B430 Northampton Road adjacent to the RAF airfield will be extended southwards to meet the proposed 30mph speed limit and also extended further northwards by an additional 200 metres – replacing the existing 60mph National speed limit in the process

The proposals have been put forward following the implementation of a 20mph speed limit within Weston-on-the-Green in May 2021, with further road safety concerns having been raised – specifically regarding the speed of traffic travelling through the village.

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 20 June 2025.

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 2025. 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).
