  • 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.

  • Oxfordshire's Public Rights of Way Network – Assessment of Connectivity
    Appendix E Oxfordshire’s public rights of way network – assessment of connectivity As part of work to achieve the aims of the first Oxfordshire Rights of Way Improvement Plan, the public rights of way network was assessed using a Geographical Information System (GIS) by Exegesis Spatial Data Management Ltd. This has enabled the production of graphics and tables to show the relative connectivity at the settlement level and for each kilometre square across the county. The graphics are colour coded for ease of reference and simple comparison. Shades of green are areas better connected, whilst areas shaded red are more poorly served. Tables accompany the graphics and include the mean average connected network in each of the settlement size categories. The connectivity study was not able to take account of the other access resources that are available to the public, including access land, neighbouring counties’ rights of way networks, the minor and unsurfaced road network, cycletracks, permissive paths under stewardship agreements, nature reserves, Woodland Trust and National Trust accessible land, and areas made available under Inheritance Tax exemptions -so these should be considered as part of any detailed assessments. In addition, the public rights of way network has been assessed for its ‘disjunctions’ – points where public rights of way meet roads and other barriers – and where there is not a close connection on the opposite side of that road. Some of these match with suggestions submitted as part of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan production. The study is not definitive and there may be other disjointed routes that are not indicated or indicated in error.

  • Members of the Watts Family, at Chalcombe, As Well As Five at Bodicote, Four at Drayton and at Great Bourton, Two at Wroxton, One at Sibford and One at Wardington
    members of the Watts family, at Chalcombe, as well as five at Bodicote, four at Drayton and at Great Bourton, two at Wroxton, one at Sibford and one at Wardington. By 1861 there were 71 weavers in Banbury, 16 at Shutford, 14 at Chalcombe, eight at Brailes, seven in Bloxham, three in Adderbury, and two at Wroxton, but none at Middleton Cheney, King's Sutton, and Hornton.8 Plush manufacture was never prominent in the spectrum of Coventry's industries. The city's principal manufacture was the weaving of silk ribbons, gauzes, trimmings and some broad fabrics, together with the production of the yarns of which they were made, employing more than 8,000 of the city's population of just over 40,000 in 1861, a reduction from the total of rather more than 10,000 out of about 36,000 people recorded a decade earlier. The ribbon trade was a largely domestic industry, protected from foreign competition by tariffs until 1860. It was long-established and in 1835 there were six silk throwsters in the city, 77 ribbon manufacturers, and 13 silk dyers, as well as specialist makers of shrouds and trimmings, and numerous people producing looms, weavers' harnesses and other items necessary for the industry. James Hart, whose family firm had the largest ribbon business in Coventry, was employing 400 men and 580 women and girls in 1861, although most companies were much smaller. Ribbon manufacture was dominated by locally-born workers. Studies of the 1851 census have shown that in the weaving district of Hillfields, 80% of heads of households were born in or around Coventry, and in the older district of Gosford Street the figure was even higher, at 85%.
