  • 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.

  • Frideswide Square Is One of Oxford's Highest Profile
    Frideswide Square Frequently Asked Questions Why are you doing this work? Frideswide Square is one of Oxford’s highest profile public areas and is a vital link between major road routes into the city. Tens of thousands of car, bus, cycle and pedestrians pass through each day and the area is also the destination for thousands of rail passengers. The county council is tackling what has been seen as a perennial problem for travellers coming into the city – our work will see improved journey times, far better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and be part of a modern gateway for Oxford. We are investing in a better system for traffic and creating some excellent public space that is in keeping with nearby facilities such as the business school and future developments such as the revamped train station. The finished Fridewide Square will reflect the regeneration taking place in and around Oxford and the county as a whole. How much are you spending on this? £5.5million. This is a major investment into Oxford and just one of the pieces of work being done to ensure the city has the transport infrastructure to match its ambition to be a world class city. What does the work involve? There are two stages to the implementation of the project. The first stage of works, recently completed, involved reallocating parking from Becket Street to Osney Lane and St Thomas Street. There were also minor adjustments to the road layout at the junctions of Becket Street/Botley Road, Becket Street Osney Lane and Osney Lane/Hollybush Row.

  • Castle and Periphery- Former Canal Basin Oxford
    OXFORD HISTORIC URBAN CHARACTER ASSESSMENT HISTORIC URBAN CHARACTER AREA 14: CASTLE AND PERIPHERY- FORMER CANAL BASIN The HUCA is located within broad character Zone D: Castle and periphery. The broad character zone is defined by the extent of the Norman castle defences and includes part of the former canal basin located to the north. Summary characteristics • Dominant period: 20th century car park and 18th century canal arm. • Designations: None. • Archaeological Potential: Despite the significant impact caused by the construction of the canal the area has potential to preserve evidence for Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval activity including a medieval ‘Hythe’ or landing place, the edge of the castle defences, related siege works and domestic settlement. There is also potential for canal infrastructure to survive below the modern car park. • Character: Predominantly modern transport infrastructure comprised of a surface car park with low retaining walls, elevated road, canal and towpath. • Spaces: The canal towpath provides a tranquil space alongside the canal, now largely used for leisure. The open car park preserves views of St Georges Tower, the Castle motte and Nuffield College. • Road morphology: Mixture of short sections of straight and sinuous routes; the medieval Hythe Bridge Street and Stockwell (Worcester Street) and later modern road Park End Street. The route of Stockwell (Worcester Street) was altered when Nuffield College was built. • Plot morphology: Large irregular plot. • The natural topography of the area is low lying on the Northmoor First Terrace adjacent to the Castle Mill Stream at a height of around 58m OD. • Survival of townscape elements: th o Part of 18 century canal.
