Witney: Corn Street - proposed shared-use foot & cycle path

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a section of 'shared-use' pedestrian & cycle track on the southern side of Corn Street, between the junctions of Queen Emma’s Dyke & the Five Ways roundabout in place of the existing pedestrian only footpath.

The proposals are being put forward as part of the Witney 'Active Travel' improvement scheme which was consulted on in January/February 2021, with further details available here. Additional details on the Department for Transport funded Active travel schemes due to be delivered by March 2022 can also be viewed here.

Please read the information provided on this consultation, your views and opinions matter. Please take the time to complete the survey, your response should be completed and returned by Friday 17 September 2021.

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 2021. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports 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).
