Statement of Reasons A40 Elmbridge Court roundabout, Gloucester. Proposed Prohibition of Right Turns Order Proposed One Way Order Proposals A new One-Way Order on the newly constructed A40 road that dissects the central island of the Elmbridge Court roundabout. A new Prohibition of Right Turns at two locations on the circulatory lanes of the A40 Elmbridge Court roundabout. Reasons An improvement scheme on the Elmbridge Court roundabout junction of the A40 Golden Valley Bypass / A40 Gloucester Northern Bypass / A417 Barnwood Link / B4063 Cheltenham Road East / B4063 Cheltenham Road West is currently under construction. These improvements are designed to improve safety, traffic flows and reduce congestion at one of the busiest junctions in Gloucestershire. One of the major components of these improvements is the construction of a new carriageway that goes through the centre of the roundabouts central island. This new road has been designed to reduce journey times and congestion for traffic using the A40, specifically for westbound traffic, therefore new Orders are needed to make the new road One-Way and to prevent traffic turning either into or out of it on to the circulatory lanes of the roundabout. These Orders would also prevent potentially unsafe traffic manoeuvres being made. Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 The specific grounds which the County Council are using for the implementation of the proposed no waiting at any time restriction as above, are the following sections of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984: • Section 1 (a) for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other such road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising. • Section 1 (c) for facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians). In addition, thorough consideration was given to the factors set out in Section 122 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 in proposing this Traffic Order. Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 All of the associated signing will be in accordance with traffic signs regulations and general directions 2016. Equality Act 2010 Thorough consideration was given to the equalities duty of the County Council under Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010. Statutory Consultation The Police, Ambulance Service, Fire Service, Tewkesbury Borough Council, Churchdown Parish Council, Road Haulage Association, Freight Transport Association and the Traffic Commissioner have all been consulted and have not raised any objections to the proposals. .

The Sites assessed are: 1) the ‘West Eynsham Site’ and 2) the ‘Garden Village Site’. It should be read in conjunction with the full historic environment assessment. This non-technical summary sets out: • the significance of heritage assets within the Sites, and those with the potential to experience effects as a consequence of setting change; • the risk of harm to heritage assets from development on Site (assuming a precautionary maximum-case scenario, as detailed proposals for the sites are not available); and, • the opportunities that are available to avoid or minimise adverse effects and deliver positive enhancement.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN • Mr G J Ellerton CMC MBE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J G Powell CBE FRIGS FSVA MEMBERS Mr K F J Ennals CB Mr G R Prentice Professor G E Cherry Mr B Scholes THE RIGHT HONOURABLE NICHOLAS RIDLEY MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT PRINCIPAL AREA REVIEW CITY"OF GLOUCESTER/BOROUGH OF CHELTENHAM/DISTRICT OF COTSWOLD/DISTRICT OF STROUD/BOROUGH OF TEWKESBURY INTRODUCTION 1. On 8 August 1979, Gloucester City Council asked us to review the City's boundaries, principally on the grounds that these had been overtaken by development and yet had been left unchanged during local government reorganisation. The City Council claimed that the transfer of a number of parishes from the District of Stroud and from the Borough of Tewkesbury would reflect the pattern of community life and be conducive to the effective operation of local government services. We noted from the prior consultations undertaken by the City Council that its request was opposed by Stroud District Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council and all the. parish councils concerned. 2. We considered Gloucester City Council's request, as required by section 48(5) of the Local Government Act 1972. We recalled that in our Report No 1, dealing with our proposals for the creation of new districts in the non- metropolitan counties, we had considered the alternatives of'having five or six districts in Gloucestershire.

1.2.4 Scheme Plans Dependent Development Site Areas Excerpt from West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031, Adopted September 2018
1.2.4 Scheme Plans Dependent Development Site Areas excerpt from West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031, Adopted September 2018 A40 STRATEGY CONCEPTUAL SCHEME PROPOSALS 1. A40 DUAL CARRIAGEWAY 1.1 What is proposed? The proposed scheme plans to extend the existing dual carriageway from Witney eastwards to the proposed Eynsham Park & Ride. The existing shared footway/cycleway on the northern side of the A40 will be retained and improved. New junctions are proposed to ensure properties along the route - and at Barnard Gate - have a safe point of access to the dual car- riageway. Environmental measures will seek to mitigate the impacts arising from widening the road. This scheme will require land outside of the current highway boundary which is currently in private ownership. Once we have a clearer idea of the land required for the scheme we will be contacting land owners to discuss the proposals and our strategy in more detail. 1.2 Why is a dual carriageway proposed? There is already severe congestion on this section of the A40 - particularly during the morning commute. This proposal seeks to increase highway capacity on this section of the A40 for all types of vehicles. This will improve accessibility to the Park & Ride for many users from the west, providing a choice of travel options for onward travel into Oxford. To help deliver planned growth and economic development and mitigate its impact on the existing road transport network. To create additional capacity for east/westbound trips and encourage traffic to use the A40 rather than other, less-suitable routes. To create strong linkages between West Oxfordshire and key services, facilities and employment sites located at Oxford.

Any bike will be fine. There are two short grassy sections at Charlbury and Adlestrop, and two bumpy (car-free) lanes at Charlbury and Hidcote Boyce, where road bike riders might choose to follow the parallel (busier) road instead. How many days? Two days is enough time, but consider taking three and enjoying more of the villages and towns en route.
