Executive summary Oxford’s bus network is characterised by duplication of buses on the main arterial routes, resulting in part from multiple bus operating companies and in part from the expressed wish of the bus operating companies not to ask passengers to transfer buses. This results in congestion, with buses holding up buses in heavy traffic in the city centre. There are many problems with public transport in the city centre. St Aldates and High Street feel over-crowded with buses; heavy, long- distance buses roar through city centre streets; buses continue to need to use Queen Street despite opposition from many people; a new study has suggested routing buses along presently quiet streets including Holywell Street; bus stop placements are confusing; and there is overcrowding at bus stops so that local buses may not stop when there are already long-distance buses waiting. I propose that bus routes along the individual arterial routes in and out of the city centre (Botley Road; St Aldates/Abingdon Road; High Street/Magdalen Bridge; St Giles/Banbury and Woodstock Roads) be replaced by electric ‘shuttle services’ to the respective Park and Rides. Passengers making longer journeys would transfer there to long-distance buses. (This is a controversial suggestion, but I make the case that it is part of the behaviour change we must all make to meet environmental concerns.) Districts such as Barton and Risinghurst would be served by separate circular electric routes, starting in those cases at Green Road roundabout. I also suggest that, as the range of electric buses increases, some might travel beyond their respective Park and Rides to serve the outer districts. Bus traffic in the city centre is currently dominated by the need for buses to turn round – this is one reason buses continue to use Queen Street. In the case of the Botley Road and the Banbury and 5 Woodstock Roads arterial routes, turning circles exist (Oxford railway station) or could be created (southern end of St Giles). However, St Aldates and High Street would require more innovative solutions, which are key to these proposals. My proposals could lead to the freeing up of some key public spaces to pedestrianisation: the Magdalen Road East/Broad Street/Magdalen Street West triangle, and Carfax which could be at the centre of a largely pedestrianised zone. My proposals would change Oxford’s public transport system radically – perhaps too radically for some. But they have the advantage that they do not to be implemented all at once: each arterial route could be managed independently so this could be a progressive change. It is also clear that at some time in the future this plan could lay the groundwork for individual arterial routes to be converted to tramways. 6 2. Introduction Oxford’s High Street clogged with buses. Carfax, the historic centre of Oxford, a busy transport junction with buses dominating. St Aldates with its jewels of Oxford Town Hall, St Aldate’s Church, and Christ Church, effectively a busy bus station. Buses running along Queen Street, which even the local authorities feel should be pedestrianised. The Magdalen Street West/Broad Street/Magdalen Street East triangle, with historic Mary Magdalen Church at its centre and the Martyrs’ Memorial at its north end, a bus holding area and bus station. Yes, it is true that compared with many other cities, Oxford has a very good bus service, but at what cost to the city centre? In this document I want to make the case that it needn’t be like this: with some imaginative thinking, the centre of Oxford could be freed from the dominance of buses, whilst maintaining a good service for passengers. ‘Bus-ageddon’ on High Street But I start by saying that I am not a transport expert. I am not even an engineer. I happen to be a retired medical scientist. At least I feel that gives me a background in gathering and looking at evidence and coming up with ideas. I have lived in Oxford for more than 30 years. In that time I have seen many changes for the better – for instance, I remember when 7 my wife was hit by a bus in Cornmarket Street. Mostly now I am a bus-user, pedestrian and cyclist in Oxford. But I am also an observer of how Oxford and its public transport function. One impetus for this work came a few years ago when we had been walking in the Lake District with our Norwegian friends Ingrid and Lars. Lars drives buses in Trondheim. We arrived back at Oxford Railway Station and took a bus to our house in Headington. As we turned into the High Street the bus was at a standstill, held up by traffic, much of which was buses. Lars said immediately “Too many buses”. He was also very critical of the ticketing system: “In Trondheim, almost nobody pays cash. If you pay cash, it costs twice as much.” This was before the introduction of contactless payment on Oxford’s buses, but still many people are paying in cash. Another impetus was the resurfacing of London Road in Headington a few years ago. The traffic was held up in long queues. It was immediately apparent how much of that traffic was made up of buses. Indeed, as I wrote in a letter to Oxford Times in May 2015, buses are holding up buses. Buses on London Road, Headington 8 Beyond that, there are the current concerns about air quality, there are concerns from cyclists about the nearness of large, heavy buses passing them, there is an unpleasant feel for pedestrians throughout the city centre because of the presence of so many large vehicles, and consequent narrow pavements

    Oxford Heritage Walks Book 2 On foot from Broad Street by Malcolm Graham (illustrated by Edith Gollnast, cartography by Alun Jones) Chapter 1 – Broad Street to Ship Street The walk begins at the western end of Broad Street, outside the Fisher Buildings of Balliol College (1767, Henry Keene; refaced 1870).1 ‘The Broad’ enjoyably combines grand College and University buildings with humbler shops and houses, reflecting the mix of Town and Gown elements that has produced some of the loveliest townscapes in central Oxford. While you savour the views, it is worth considering how Broad Street came into being. Archaeological evidence suggests that the street was part of the suburban expansion of Oxford in the 12th century. Outside the town wall, there was less pressure on space and the street is first recorded as Horsemonger Street in c.1230 because its width had encouraged the sale of horses. Development began on the north side of the street and the curving south side echoes the shape of the ditch outside the town wall, which, like the land inside it, was not built upon until c. 1600. Broad Street was named Canditch after this ditch by the 14th century but the present name was established by 1751.2 Broad Street features in national history as the place where the Protestant Oxford Martyrs were burned: Bishops Latimer and Ridley in 1555 and Archbishop Cranmer in 1556.3 A paved cross in the centre of Broad Street and a plaque on Balliol College commemorate these tragic events. In 1839, the committee formed to set up a memorial considered building a church near the spot but, after failing to find an eligible site, it opted instead for the Martyrs’ Memorial (1841, Sir George Gilbert Scott) in St Giles’ and a Martyrs’ aisle to St.

  • 5.0 What Is Special About the Conservation Area?
    5.0 What is special about the conservation area? 5.1 What makes the centre of Oxford special? 5.2 Themes 5.0 What is special about the conservation area? 5.1 What makes the centre of Oxford special? Few places in the world can claim so much outstanding architecture and townscape in such a concentrated space as the historic centre of Oxford. One of the masterpieces of European architectural heritage, it is also a major regional commercial centre and one of the most celebrated and loved places in Britain: its history, its architecture, its townscape and its flood plains combine in glorious, often spectacular fashion. The causes of this brilliance are many and complex. Preserving and better still enhancing the conservation area requires that the subtle fusion of many factors is understood and applied: Contrasts and continuity. Oxford city centre is a townscape of harmonious contrast and notable historical continuity: of private colleges and Saxon streets, education and commerce, medieval and modern, golden limestone and brightly painted render, monumental institutional buildings cheek by jowl with picturesque town houses, broad green space and intimate streets, thronging thoroughfares and tranquil passages. These contrasts create juxtapositions that are of exceptional picturesque quality and express the richness and diversity of the city’s history and its economy. Continuity of function and layout are a direct lineage through hundreds of years of history. Land ownership. Long-term institutional ownership makes Oxford’s townscape distinctive. It has endowed the city with architecture of international importance – worthy of a capital city as Geoffrey Tyack says – of which an exceptionally and unusually high proportion is pre-Victorian.

CHAPTER 2.0 THE CLARENDON CENTRE REGENERATION | OXFORD 2.1 SITE HISTORY + CONTEXT THE CLARENDON CENTRE The Clarendon Centre is a small shopping mall located right in the heart of Oxford City Centre. The mall at present is an agglomeration of a number of buildings, mostly constructed in the 1950’s onwards, which have over time been adapted and modified to provide the covered shopping mall which stands on the site today. The mall provides a covered link between Cornmarket Street and Queen Street, with a connection to Shoe Lane. The Clarendon Centre over the past few decades has been occupied by a myriad of well known and loved highstreet names. Due to the opening of the Westgate Centre in 2017 and the collapse in the retail market the majority of these well known retailers have now vacated. The centre is now at an important crossroads in its viability as a retail-led destination.
