  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet

    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.

    2 Herrieffs Barn, North Newington

    2 Herrieffs Barn, North Newington 2 Herrieffs Barn, North Newington is an Exquisitely Presented Barn Conversion Within the Heart of a Prime North Oxfordshire Village North Newington The village sits just two miles to the west of the market town of Banbury. There is a strong sense of community with a varied calendar of events throughout the year, involving the school, the village pub and the Broughton & North Newington Sports & Social Club. There is a highly sought after primary school in the village, and the highly acclaimed Warriner School in Bloxham is the secondary school for this catchment area. North Newington offers the convenience of the facilities of a thriving town not far away, but the calm and community of a beautiful village; both at the same time. 2 Herrieffs Barn A recently refurbished barn conversion, situated in an enviable position within the well regarded village of North Newington. The conversion was done in 1999 and in brief comprises: stunning vaulted entrance hall, cloakroom, recently replaced kitchen/breakfast room and an open plan sitting room/diner with complimenting log burner. On the first floor you will find a master bedroom with en-suite, two double bedrooms, good sized single bedroom and a family bathroom. Properties like this seldom make it onto the open market and as such an early internal viewing is a must in order to avoid disappointment. Outside Outside, there is a large well maintained garden and the barn enjoys fabulous views across the village. Further benefits include ample parking with a double garage.

  • Oxfordshire's Public Rights of Way Network – Assessment of Connectivity

    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.

  • The Village Gossip North Newington Spring 2020

    The Village Gossip North Newington Spring 2020

    The Village Gossip North Newington Spring 2020 Welcome The main focus of this edition is to share some of the differing experiences of life under lockdown that have been emailed in to us in the last few weeks. The winter edition gave mention of the virus but I certainly would not have anticipated its consequences. The last few weeks will have resulted in differing experiences and I am grateful for those who have sent in their own reflections. On the whole I imagine we are a fairly resilient group of people but even so conversations with others reveal some of the challenges the situation has brought. It’s a pleasure to read some of your stories here. Many point to the strong community we have in North Newington and the different ways we’ve been able to look out for one another. For me I will remember the bolognaise brought over by our neighbours which Rose (our youngest) declared as the “best tea ever”. The Thursday claps (horns, bells and whoops) is a highlight reminding us of the hard work others are going through in extremely challenging circumstances. There are small but significant personal mementoes for me too. A strawberry plant gifted to us, now established in our rockery; a Rupert the Bear annual now part of Rose’s book collection; the Friday delivery of wonderful bread and perhaps the highlight, memories of an afternoon tea with some of our neighbours on VE Day. Carol has been working hard digging out a section of our garden untouched by a gardener’s hands for some years.
