  • Summer 2016 - What's New?
    Summer 2016 - What's new? Over the past few months we have made huge progress with the Better Broadband rollout, connecting more remote areas of Oxfordshire than ever before. In achieving over 90 per cent of our superfast coverage target, we celebrated with the residents and businesses of Steeple Aston and Ashbury to welcome the faster connection that will have no end of benefits. This brings us one step closer to reaching our target of 95% of Oxfordshire premises to have access to superfast broadband services by December 2017. In this edition, find out when superfast broadband will be coming to a cabinet near you, read the coverage of our Steeple Aston and Ashbury events and learn about the independent assessment of superfast broadband coverage that is available from thinkbroadband®. Councillor Nick Carter, Cabinet Member for Business and Customer Services Coming to a cabinet near you! Since 1 July 2016, thirteen more cabinets have gone live – including cabinets providing superfast broadband to premises in the vicinity of: • Letcombe Regis • Thame town centre • Christmas Common • Woodcote, Reading • Businesses in the Granville Way/Launton Road area of Bicester • Fencott • Burdrop • Brewery Lane/Scotland End, Hook Norton In the coming weeks 4 more cabinets are expected to go live, providing superfast broadband to premises in the vicinity of: • Bletchingdon • Southam Road, Banbury • Shippon, Abingdon • Long Wittenham • Upper Heyford For further updates about our delivery plans see the coverage map on the Better Broadband for Oxfordshire website. Better broadband reaches remote areas Residents, local businesses and representatives from the Better Broadband for Oxfordshire partnership were in Ashbury on Friday 29 July to celebrate the village becoming the first area of the district to benefit from the second phase of the roll- out with around 230 premises able to access faster fibre broadband.

  • 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.
