Consultation – Little Coxwell proposed 20mph Speed Limit

8/11/2022

 
Please see a statement from OCC below and with 4 attachments relating to a proposed changes of speed limit in and around Little Coxwell.

Please note, that the consultation in relation to a 20mph zone in Great Coxwell is expected in 2023, but OCC have decided to combine Little Coxwell and Great Coxwell speed limits into one Schedule. For that reason Great Coxwell remains at 30mph in the Schedule attached by OCC for the purposes of Little Coxwell's consultation on speed limits.

Great Coxwell Parish Council

CONSULTATION – Little Coxwell proposed 20mph Speed Limit
 
Oxfordshire County Council wants to make our built environments safer and more attractive places to walk and cycle. To enable this, 20mph speed restrictions are being used to help promote alternative modes of transport for local travel. Further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found here.
 
We're therefore asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit throughout Little Coxwell, replacing the current unrestricted national speed limit in its entirety, leading out of the village to its junction with Fernham Road. Additionally, a 40mph speed limit ‘buffer’ will be introduced on the Fernham Road, either side of the junction with the access to the village - replacing the existing 60mph national speed limit in the process. The proposals are being put forward following road safety concerns raised by the parish, and are part of a countywide programme of works that seeks to deliver ‘a safer place with a safer pace’ for the residents of Oxfordshire. In light of this, please find the following consultation documents attached:

  • Public Notice, 
  • Statement of Reasons, 
  • Consultation Plan(s), and
  • Draft Traffic Regulation Order.

The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is scheduled to be advertised in the Oxford Times newspaper today; Thursday 03rd November 2022, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal at the address below:

Queen Elizabeth ll, was the longest-serving monarch in British history, serving our country with dedication and devotion for 70 years. She was also a much-loved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and the Parish Council sends its sincere condolences to The King and the entire Royal Family.
 
Buckingham Palace confirmed the news earlier today, in a statement saying:
 
“ The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.“
 
A book of condolence will be available for signing in the Church from 9:30am tomorrow.
 
The Church bell will be tolled 96 times, one of each year of the Queen’s life, at 10am tomorrow (Friday 9th September).
 
The Vicar will hold a short prayer vigil after the tolling of the bell at 10am.
 
Flowers may be left (unwrapped) on the grass to the left and right of the main doors into the Church. (Please note flowers will be removed the day after the state funeral and composted).   
 
This week’s Sunday Service (10:30am) will be dedicated to the memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
