  • 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.

They propose 1,400 new homes at the County Council owned Tank Farm, and beyond at the eastern top of town. This would include a new A361‘relief road’ from Banbury Road to Burford Road around the edge of town, so reducing Apple blessing time traffic through the town centre. Included are a new primary school, employment land, local shops, community and leisure space. Town debate hots up The new ideas do not seem to be welcomed by the Town Council. Mayor Mike Tysoe says this growth would ‘cause tremendous problems’. Councillors supported a smaller Tank Farm plan in 2014 and said then that ‘no other’ strategic sites should be proposed.

  • The Glyme Valley Way, Step by Step
    The Glyme Valley Way Step by step From Chipping Norton TO Woodstock, Oxfordshire detailed route description and practical information The Glyme Valley Way Step by Step page 2 The Glyme Valley Way step by step is a guide to help you navigate a historic trail that passes through some lovely countryside. The Way follows nearly stile-free public footpaths and bridleways from Chipping Norton to Woodstock and was devised by BBC Oxford and Oxfordshire County Council’s Countryside Service to mark celebrations in 2007 of 1,000 years of the County’s history. It crosses pleasant rolling country, fine parkland, and protected meadows. About 25 km or 16 miles long, its ascents total some 280 m/900 ft, and descents, 380 m/1,250 ft. At an average pace of 4km or 2½ miles per hour, it would take about 6½ hours to complete, excluding stops. This guide supplements a 2007 leaflet giving an overview of the Way: see endnote a. The Glyme Valley Way follows as closely as possible most of the course of the River Glyme, from near its source as far as the park at Woodstock’s Blenheim Palace. The Ancient Britons gave the river its name, which means “bright stream”; if the light is right, its clear waters certainly do justice to the description. The Glyme is a tributary of the River Evenlode, which runs into the Thames. It rises about a mile (1.6 km) east of Chipping Norton, close to Glyme Farm, and passing evidence of thousands of years of our history, meanders in a south-easterly direction to Old Chalford, Enstone, Kiddington, Glympton, Wootton and Woodstock.
