  • Badgers - Numbers, Gardens and Public Attitudes in Iffley Fields
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 116 NEWS SPRING 2018 A young buck Roe Deer by Iffley Lock Photo by Anthony Cheke NEWS FROM BOUNDARY BROOK NATURE PARK The hedge around the Nature Park between us and the allotment area had grown a lot during the last year and was encroaching on the allotment site. The allotment holders understandably were not happy about this and were prepared to get a professional group to do the work. This would have been very expensive for us and nobody volunteered to help with the clearance. Very nobly Alan Hart, the Warden, made a start on this great task and made tremendous progress. Then the snow came. Alan could not even get into Oxford let alone cut the hedge! He has now done more but there is still a lot to be done if anyone feels willing to help, please contact him. His phone numbers are on the back page of this newsletter. PAST EVENTS Sadly, the January day we chose for our winter walk in University Parks to the river was literally a “wash-out”! On the day, in case the rain decided to stop, I turned up at the meeting place at the time we’d chosen but as I suspected nobody had turned out and the rain didn’t stop. Maybe we could schedule it again. It would be useful if you could let me know if you would have come if the sun had been shining. If not are there any other places in the Oxford area you’d like to explore. Please let me know if so.

  • Background Papers
    ID CAPACITY TOWN ROAD VIEW COMMENTS As a cycle‐user I frequently use Walton Street both as a destination in its own right and also as a through‐route to and from the rail and coach stations, and West Oxford. The conditions for those who cycle have been immeasurably better since the junction was closed to motor traffic but still open to cycles and those on foot. The simplification of the junction makes a very big difference. Charlbury 9628641 individual Oxford Support That said, the remaining pedestrian crossing at Worcester Street North is now on the wrong alignment to Road facilitate southbound cycle‐users crossing the northbound vehicular flow as it turns into Beaumont Street. This needs urgent solution, now that traffic is rising again post‐COVID. Only when the Traffic Control Point proposed in Connecting Oxford is installed in Worcester Street, operating 24/7 year‐long, should the Walton Street junction be reopened to motor vehicles It is essential to reduce motorised transport both to reduce carbon emissions and to reduce the air pollution caused by motor vehicles. All vehicles cause pollution, including electric vehicles, which require CO2 emissions at power stations and generate particulates from road, brake and tyre wear. Eynsham 9642049 individual Oxford Support The experimental closure of Walton Street is one small step towards creating a safer, healthier and more Road civilised environment for walking and cycling, and reducing vehicle traffic. It should be extended indefinitely, and should be only the first step in a comprehensive suite of measures to eliminate private cars from the city, with the exception of those required by people with physical disabilities that prevent them from using foot, bicycle or public transport.

  • Jens Evans Has Been Smooth and Lifted a Heavy Weight of Responsibility from Me
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 117 NEWS SUMMER 2018 Are you a friend of Hedgehogs? See inside! 2 A Message from Janet Keene, Editor of Oxford Urban Wildlife News. Those of you who have been readers of this magazine for some time, may remember that in issue Number 114 (Summer 2017) I wrote in an editorial that, in May of that year, I was diagnosed as having had a mild stroke. The prognosis for an eventual good recovery was considered good, as long as stress was avoided. I decided upon advice that it was in my best interests to resign my post as ‘chairperson’ of the committee of OUWG as soon as possible. The transfer of ‘chairperson’ to Jens Evans has been smooth and lifted a heavy weight of responsibility from me. Jens introduces himself in the following page. At the time that I resigned the chair, I also announced to the committee that after editing the OUWG Newsletter for 100 issues (since 1992), I would be happy to pass that responsibility to a younger member of the group but would continue as editor until a new editor was found. As is so often the case with that sort of statement, I found myself remaining editor by default. However, I continued to enjoy the responsibility of providing a magazine which was focussed on Boundary Brook Nature Park but provided an umbrella organisation, drawing attention to the work of other environmental organisations throughout the city. See this issue. The JR Hospital periodically monitored the effects of my mini stroke for a year and at that point, I was released from further monitoring, although I was still not allowed to drive and the loss of full physical fitness and some short term memory problems have persisted.

  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.
