Witney: Welch Way - proposed raised parallel crossing

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a raised Parallel Crossing (combined pedestrian & cycle crossing) on Welch Way in Witney, located approx. 12 metres east of its junction with the A415 Five Ways roundabout. The crossing will consist of a zebra crossing (for pedestrian use only) with an adjoining parallel priority cycleway, to be sited on a raised 'table' feature approx.75mm high.

The proposal has been put forward in order to help improve road safety in the area, as well as helping to encourage 'active travel' choices i.e. those journeys made by walking, wheeling and cycling.

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 05 September 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).
