  • Access to Headington & Traffic Issues
    Access to Headington Summary of feedback from the public consultation on the initial proposals General/area-wide comments . Numerous respondents were concerned by proposals to remove grass verges and trees to accommodate junction improvements, bus priority and pedestrian/cycle facilities. For many the loss of any trees would be unacceptable. Other respondents understood why this might be required in places but felt the impact of proposals could be minimised and mitigated through additional trees being planted in the local area. There were many comments relating to proposals to remove on-street parking to provide bus or cycle lanes. Whilst some respondents welcomed the potential changes, such as cyclists and commuters, residents directly affected were generally against the idea, and those living nearby were concerned about the potential knock-on effect of more parking in neighbouring side-roads. Some respondents also felt the loss of parking would result in increased traffic speeds. The introduction of raised entry treatments at side roads was met with mixed views with some regarding them as a positive addition in so far as they would improve safety for vulnerable users such as the elderly, young children and cyclists. Other respondents felt they provided little benefit and cited concerns about confusion over who has right of way, maintenance costs, and potential drainage issues. Some respondents felt proposals should accommodate additional measures in areas of Headington outside the main project area. In particular, respondents wanted improvements to manage the amount and speed of traffic using routes off the main highway, together with improvements to adjoining walking and cycling routes.

  • A Gradiometer Survey of South Park, St Clements, Oxford
    A Gradiometer Survey of South Park, St Clements, Oxford For The East Oxford Archaeology and History Project David Pinches September 2013 1. Summary Of Results. A gradiometer survey of South Park was undertaken by the East Oxford Archaeology and History Project in late 2012/early 2013. The survey was carried out in part to locate the possible remains of parliamentarian earthworks from the English Civil War that are believed to be located in the Headington Hill area. Although the survey failed to conclusively locate these earthworks, a number of possible candidates were identified. The survey does show traces of ridge and furrow cultivation at the western end of the park and the remains of post-medieval field boundaries shown on 1880’s mapping. The large amount of magnetic interference across the majority of the surveyed area has made identifying archaeological features extremely difficult. As a result few features have been identified in-spite of the large area surveyed 2. Introduction. 2.1 Background. The survey was carried out as one of a number of geophysical surveys undertaken by the East Oxford Archaeology and History Project or ARCHEOX. ARCHEOX is a community archaeology project hosted by Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Oxford University’s John Fell Fund. South Park was chosen as a survey location as it is one of the largest open spaces in the project’s study area, as well as being the potential location of earthworks relating to the siege of Oxford during the English Civil War (1642-3).

  • An Oxford Policeman's Lot 1948–1973
    My Story Alan C Dent AN OXFORD POLICEMAN’S LOT 1948–1973 The following is a brief history of my service as a police officer in the Oxford City Police, Cyprus Police (UK) Unit, and Thames Valley Police over a period of 25 years. I have not kept a diary: therefore everything written here is almost entirely from memory. Events will not have occurred in chronological order and I have put similar related events together. Oxford 45 years ago was quite a lot different from what it is today. I have therefore decided to give a brief description of Oxford and its citizens in 1948, when I commenced my career as a Constable in the Oxford City Police. The first thing that I think would strike anyone who looked at a map of the City of Oxford and its surroundings in 1948 is the fact that the ring road round Oxford did not exist. There was the Southern by-pass which during the war was used as an ammunition dump and had a battery of anti-aircraft guns located there. There was also the Northern by-pass which was in use for traffic. This was a three-lane road. The middle lane was for vehicles to overtake and this was the cause of many fatal and serious accidents. All vehicles travelling North to South came down the Woodstock or Banbury Roads through the City centre, over the narrow Red Bridge at the bottom of the Abingdon Road, to Hinksey Hill and through the centre of Abingdon. Traffic travelling to Swindon in the West came along the old A40, through Headington through the City Centre and up Cumnor Hill.
