Agenda Item No. 10 WEST OXFORDSHIRE DISTRICT Agenda Item No. 10 WEST OXFORDSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL CABINET 14 OCTOBER 2015 INVESTING IN THE A40 REPORT OF THE HEAD OF PLANNING AND STRATEGIC HOUSING (Contact: Giles Hughes, Tel: (01993) 862170) (The Cabinet’s decision on this matter will be a resolution) 1. PURPOSE To consider West Oxfordshire District Council’s response to the Oxfordshire County Council’s recent consultation ‘Investing in the A40’. The County Council is seeking views on the longer term solution for the A40 corridor. A copy of a draft response is included in Appendix 1. 2. RECOMMENDATION That the Cabinet approves the draft response letter as West Oxfordshire District Council’s response, subject to any amendments that Cabinet wishes to make. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1. Oxfordshire County Council started a consultation on the longer term solution for the A40 on the 26th September. A copy of the consultation paper is attached to this report in Appendix 2. 3.2. The A40 is an important route linking Gloucestershire and South Wales with London via the M40. It plays a critical role for West Oxfordshire by linking a number of the largest settlements with Oxford and other important employment areas. The A40 is used by a number of key bus routes as well as general traffic. The A40 carries a daily flow of between 23,000 and 30,000 vehicles per day, well above the road's link capacity. This is exacerbated by junction capacity issues at Eynsham/Cassington and Wolvercote. This results in congestion on the route for much of the day, including at weekends. During school term times the average journey speed on the A40 between Cassington and Wolvercote in the morning peak is 17 mph, while on the worst days it can be as low as 10 mph. 3.3. The emerging West Oxfordshire Local Plan acknowledges the importance of the A40 to the district and states that the current problems are acting as a potential constraint to economic growth. The problems on the A40 also lead to the displacement of traffic onto other routes as drivers seek an alternative. This increases the number of cars using the A4095 through Long Hanborough and Bladon adversely affecting these communities. 3.4. The County Council has been provisionally awarded £35 million from the Government's Local Growth Fund for public transport improvements in the A40 corridor in the short to medium term. These improvements are timetabled for delivery between 2019 and 2021 and include: Item No. 10, Page 1 of 5 An eastbound bus lane between Eynsham Roundabout and the Duke's Cut, Wolvercote; Westbound bus priority on the approaches to Cassington traffic signals and Eynsham Roundabout; A Park and Ride car park adjacent to the A40 in Eynsham; and, Junction improvements along the A40 corridor between Witney Bypass and Eynsham Roundabout, including bus priority on the approach to Swinford Toll Bridge. 3.5. The County Council intend to consult on the details of these public transport improvements in autumn 2016. 3.6. The County Council formally adopted Connecting Oxfordshire its Local Transport Plan for 2015-2031 in September 2015. This plan recognises the need for a longer term strategy for improving the A40, beyond the public transport improvements already planned. The objectives for this longer term strategy for the A40 are: To improve travel times and/or journey reliability along the A40 corridor, in particular between Witney/Carterton and Oxford, taking account of future travel needs; To stimulate economic development in line with the Oxfordshire Strategic Economic Plan; and, To reduce the environmental impacts and safety issues along the A40 corridor. 3.7. The Investing in the A40 consultation identifies the following five options for tackling the A40: A40 Bus Lane Guided Busway A40 Dual Carriageway Witney – Oxford Train Witney – Oxford Tram 3.8. The County Council is asking for views on which scheme, or combination of options, should the County Council give top priority to. None of these options are currently funded. The development of a long term strategy will put the County Council in a strong position so that they can move quickly with a bid for government funding when opportunities arise. 3.9. Another option that has been independently suggested by WestOx Monorail Ltd is a Witney to Oxford rapid transit system in the form of a monorail along the A40 corridor. This is not referred to in the County Council’s consultation. 3.10. The consultation runs until Sunday 8th November 2015. Feedback from the consultation will inform a discussion by Oxford County Council’s Cabinet in spring 2016 on the long term strategy for the A40. Item No. 10, Page 2 of 5 4. ALTERNATIVES/OPTIONS A40 Bus Lane – Approximate cost £50 million 4.1. This option would build on from the proposed A40 eastbound bus lane, reducing the cost by £15 million. It would provide 3 metre wide bus lanes in both directions on existing verges between Shores Green and the Duke’s Cut canal. It would create a delay free bus corridor for high frequency services serving a range of origins and destinations. The lanes would normally be restricted to buses but could also be used by emergency vehicles and by other traffic when necessary. Guided Busway – Approximate cost £165 million 4.2. This would be a two-way guided busway track using the line of the old railway from Witney to Cassington, except in Eynsham where the buses would go through the village. The final element of the route would be a guided busway alongside the A40 to the Duke’s Cut canal bridge. This proposal is similar in nature to the operational Cambridge Guided Busway. It would serve high or medium frequency buses serving a wide range of origins and destinations. A40 Dual Carriageway – Approximate cost £120 million 4.3. This involves widening the A40 to 2 lanes in either direction, and requires significant alterations to the junctions at Barnard Gate and Cassington. A central reservation would prevent certain movements and restrict direct access in some cases. The scheme benefits both freight and passenger vehicles. There would be no priority for buses and the currently proposed A40 eastbound bus lane from Eynsham would be removed. The scheme may require an additional ‘North Oxford’ bypass to provide a high standard through route at a cost of £100 million plus. Witney to Oxford Train – Approximate cost £285 million 4.4. A new railway line with new stations at Witney, close to the Ducklington Roundabout, and at Eynsham. The stations would require adequate car parking to act as parkways. The line would connect with the Cotswold line at Yarnton, allowing trains to carry on to Oxford. It would be mainly a single-track diesel railway with double track running through stations. Train frequency would be 1 to 2 trains per hour. An alternative route north of the A40 has also been identified. Witney to Oxford Tram – Approximate cost £240 million 4.5. A new light rail line from Witney, close to the Ducklington Roundabout, through Eynsham towards Oxford. The route would use some of the old railway line alignment and when it reaches the A40 it would either continue to a railway junction at Yarnton, is a joint tram-train operation is permitted, or continue alongside the A40 towards Oxford. Tram stops would require adequate car parking to act as parkways. Tram frequency would be 4 trams per hour in each direction. On-street running would be considered in Witney, Eynsham and North Oxford. Witney to Oxford Monorail – Approximate cost £210 million (WestOx Monorail Ltd estimate) 4.6. This options has not been suggested by the County Council but is proposed by WestOx Monorail Ltd. The route would start at Oxford Hill in Witney, follow the A40 until it reaches the A34 at Wolvercote fly-over and then it would follow the path of the Cotswold rail line into Oxford station. This proposal would (for the most part) utilise the existing verges alongside the A40. It would involve a 4 car transit system with 4 Item No. 10, Page 3 of 5 stations (Oxford Hill Witney, Eynsham, Oxford Northern Gateway and Oxford Railway Station. Key Issues 4.7. One of the objectives for the long term strategy is to improve travel times and/or journey reliability along the A40 corridor. This is a key issue for West Oxfordshire as the current situation undermines the quality of life of residents and economic development. As a largely rural district West Oxfordshire currently has a relatively high percentage of car use and the statistics included in the consultation show that 91% of eastbound journeys on the A40 originate in West Oxfordshire. Consideration therefore needs to be given to whether each of the public transport options would be effective in delivering a modal shift towards public transport use and thereby reduce congestion on the A40. 4.8. All of the options identified have significant costs. These range from £50 million for an A40 bus lane up to £285 million for an Oxford to Witney train line. Inevitably given the magnitude of cost some form of government funding will be needed to help deliver the schemes perhaps supplemented by local sources of funding. 4.9. The longer term strategy needs to promote a solution that is appropriate for the longer term. A particular issue with rail based systems is that they are relatively inflexible. Bus based systems of public transport have greater flexibility to serve a wider range of origins and destinations. 4.10. It is also important that a longer term strategy is developed in a timely manner. A number of significant decisions will be taken in the near future on the details of the Local Growth Fund package and on planning for Oxford’s unmet housing need that need to take into account a longer term strategy for the A40.

  • As a Largely Rural District the Highway Network Plays a Key Role in West Oxfordshire
    Highways 8.9 As a largely rural district the highway network plays a key role in West Oxfordshire. The main routes include the A40 Cheltenham to Oxford, the A44 through Woodstock and Chipping Norton, the A361 Swindon to Banbury and the A4260 from Banbury through the eastern part of the District. These are shown on the Key Diagram (Figure 4.1). The provision of a good, reliable and congestion free highway network has a number of benefits including the provision of convenient access to jobs, services and facilities and the potential to unlock and support economic growth. Under the draft Local Plan, the importance of the highway network will continue to be recognised with necessary improvements to be sought where appropriate. This will include the delivery of strategic highway improvements necessary to support growth. 8.10 The A40 is the main east-west transport route with congestion on the section between Witney and Oxford being amongst the most severe transport problems in Oxfordshire and acting as a potential constraint to economic growth. One cause of the congestion is insufficient capacity at the Wolvercote and Cutteslowe roundabouts (outside the District) with the traffic lights and junctions at Eynsham and Cassington (inside the District) adding to the problem. Severe congestion is also experienced on the A44 at the Bladon roundabout, particularly during the morning peak. Further development in the District will put additional pressure on these highly trafficked routes. 8.11 In light of these problems, Oxfordshire County Council developed its ‘Access to Oxford’ project and although Government funding has been withdrawn, the County Council is continuing to seek alternative funding for schemes to improve the northern approaches to Oxford, including where appropriate from new development.

  • 1.2.4 Scheme Plans Dependent Development Site Areas Excerpt from West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031, Adopted September 2018
    1.2.4 Scheme Plans Dependent Development Site Areas excerpt from West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2031, Adopted September 2018 A40 STRATEGY CONCEPTUAL SCHEME PROPOSALS 1. A40 DUAL CARRIAGEWAY 1.1 What is proposed? The proposed scheme plans to extend the existing dual carriageway from Witney eastwards to the proposed Eynsham Park & Ride. The existing shared footway/cycleway on the northern side of the A40 will be retained and improved. New junctions are proposed to ensure properties along the route - and at Barnard Gate - have a safe point of access to the dual car- riageway. Environmental measures will seek to mitigate the impacts arising from widening the road. This scheme will require land outside of the current highway boundary which is currently in private ownership. Once we have a clearer idea of the land required for the scheme we will be contacting land owners to discuss the proposals and our strategy in more detail. 1.2 Why is a dual carriageway proposed? There is already severe congestion on this section of the A40 - particularly during the morning commute. This proposal seeks to increase highway capacity on this section of the A40 for all types of vehicles. This will improve accessibility to the Park & Ride for many users from the west, providing a choice of travel options for onward travel into Oxford. To help deliver planned growth and economic development and mitigate its impact on the existing road transport network. To create additional capacity for east/westbound trips and encourage traffic to use the A40 rather than other, less-suitable routes. To create strong linkages between West Oxfordshire and key services, facilities and employment sites located at Oxford.

Place-names and landmarks on Anglo-Saxon charter bounds provide evidence for an intricate network of roads and tracks before the Norman Conquest, and the variety of terms used reflects the existence of different types of thoroughfare. The road pattern was never static, but in a continual state of evolution. The priorities of routes have always been liable to change, reflecting the fluctuating economic fortunes of the places they served. Their courses were often altered by large-scale planned diversions during the middle ages, particularly into medieval new towns (the main road between Oxford and Aylesbury was diverted to pass through the new market-place at Thame in 1219) and around the margins of new parks.

  • Welcome to the Exhibition
    INVESTING IN THE A40 Welcome to the exhibition The A40 is used by over 30,000 vehicles each day and is the main route linking the M40, Oxford, Cheltenham and South Wales. This exhibition puts a spotlight on the A40 corridor. It sets out both what we are doing now to improve journeys for people and businesses who rely on this route, and why we need to attract further investment. We have set out a range of options for the long-term future of the A40 corridor, including possibilities for buses, cars, trains and trams. We need your views on these options now, so that we can be ready to bid for future funding opportunities from government as they arise.
