At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.

  • Background Papers
    ID CAPACITY TOWN ROAD VIEW COMMENTS As a cycle‐user I frequently use Walton Street both as a destination in its own right and also as a through‐route to and from the rail and coach stations, and West Oxford. The conditions for those who cycle have been immeasurably better since the junction was closed to motor traffic but still open to cycles and those on foot. The simplification of the junction makes a very big difference. Charlbury 9628641 individual Oxford Support That said, the remaining pedestrian crossing at Worcester Street North is now on the wrong alignment to Road facilitate southbound cycle‐users crossing the northbound vehicular flow as it turns into Beaumont Street. This needs urgent solution, now that traffic is rising again post‐COVID. Only when the Traffic Control Point proposed in Connecting Oxford is installed in Worcester Street, operating 24/7 year‐long, should the Walton Street junction be reopened to motor vehicles It is essential to reduce motorised transport both to reduce carbon emissions and to reduce the air pollution caused by motor vehicles. All vehicles cause pollution, including electric vehicles, which require CO2 emissions at power stations and generate particulates from road, brake and tyre wear. Eynsham 9642049 individual Oxford Support The experimental closure of Walton Street is one small step towards creating a safer, healthier and more Road civilised environment for walking and cycling, and reducing vehicle traffic. It should be extended indefinitely, and should be only the first step in a comprehensive suite of measures to eliminate private cars from the city, with the exception of those required by people with physical disabilities that prevent them from using foot, bicycle or public transport.

  • ANNEX 4A – Email Responses
    1 ANNEX 4a – Email Responses RESPONDENT VIEW COMMENTS Key Stakeholders/Groups I accept this junction has been closed for a number of weeks due to road maintenance, however any longer- term proposal to restrict vehicular traffic is NOT supported. 1. Emergency response times for ALL Emergency services to this area will increase and detrimental to public Thames Valley Police Object safety. 2. Walton Street is currently a defined Diversion route for Blue light services and other vehicles during closures of St Giles. Alternative Diversions much longer and detrimental in terms of Emergency response to North Oxford. Can see this would be beneficial to the residents of Walton street, I do have some concerns regarding Emergency access. Since the current closure has been in place, we have attended quite a few minor incidents, and the only Fire & Rescue Service, access has been via St Giles and little clarendon street or St Margret’s road for the Hydraulic Platform (due (Rewley Road & Slade Concerns to the size and amount of swing on the vehicle) Park White Watch) Whilst I am not opposed to a temporary traffic closure trial myself, I would personally like the ability to access via a transponder and a bollard or some other mechanism that we could breach? Obviously, a sign would do the same, but would state only emergency vehicles have access. During the current road closures on Walton Street, our appliances have been significantly delayed in attending properties down Walton Street and the surrounding side roads/Port Meadow because of high traffic levels, tight roads for the diversion and the length of time it takes us to get to suitable diversion routes that are listed in the consultation map.

  • 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.
