The Cabinet Member for Transport, Councillor Gareth Epps, approved a series of measures aimed at improving road safety and traffic management across Oxfordshire. Key decisions included the implementation of new 20mph speed limits in Compton Beauchamp, Hardwick Hill (Banbury), and Fordwells, alongside the extension of a 30mph limit on Langford Lane in Kidlington. The meeting also saw the approval of new traffic calming features on Eastern Bypass Road in Oxford and Abingdon Road in Culham, as well as changes to parking restrictions in various locations, including County Hall, Westminster Way, and Shrivenham. A new micromobility scheme contract for e-scooters and e-bikes was also approved, with plans to expand operations across central Oxfordshire.
Car Parking at County Hall
Oxfordshire County Council has adopted a new policy for car parking at County Hall. This policy aims to reduce unnecessary car journeys and encourage sustainable travel options. Parking will now be limited to operational needs, Blue Badge holders, and officers or elected members with short-term health or accessibility requirements. Authority has been delegated to the Director for Property and Assets to implement and manage the policy.
Oxfordshire Micromobility Scheme Contract
A key decision was made to enter into a new concession contract for the Oxfordshire Micromobility Scheme, which will provide hire e-scooters and e-bikes across central Oxfordshire. This scheme aims to offer an affordable alternative to private car use, supporting the council's objectives for mode shift, climate action, and public health. The contract will place a stronger emphasis on the management and expansion of parking, including more bays on carriageways, and will include a revenue share agreement with the operator. Trials for hire e-bikes are also planned for the Science Vale area and Bicester.
Proposed Crossings, Traffic Calming and Cycleways - Abingdon Road, Culham
Proposals for traffic calming measures on Abingdon Road in Culham were approved. These include a 'Toucan' crossing, a 'Side Road Entry Treatment' (SRET) feature at the junction with Thame Lane, and the widening of a section of footway on Tollgate Road to create a shared use footway and cycleway. These measures are intended to improve road safety for pedestrians and cyclists, particularly for those travelling to Europa School and Culham Campus.
Proposed Traffic Calming - Eastern Bypass Road, Oxford
A new 'Side Road Entry Treatment' (SRET) traffic calming feature and associated shared-use foot and cycleway were approved for the Gate 5 access to the BMW Mini Plant on the Eastern Bypass Road in Oxford. This is part of planning condition requirements related to the development of adjacent land at the BMW plant.
Proposed Traffic Calming - Townsend Road, Shrivenham
The construction of three pairs of speed cushion traffic calming features on Townsend Road in Shrivenham was approved. These measures are part of a new traffic calming scheme aimed at reducing speeds in the vicinity of a new development. The scheme will also include 'Dragon's Teeth' markings and a Speed Indicator Device (SID).
Station Approach Road, Banbury - Proposed ANPR Enforcement
The use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to enforce the Bus Gate/Lane on Station Approach Road (North) in Banbury was approved. This measure is part of the wider 'Access to Banbury Train Station' project and aims to deter unauthorised vehicles from using the bus gate.
A40 Access to Witney - Traffic Management Orders
Several traffic management orders were approved for the A40 Access to Witney scheme. These include new 60mph speed limits on the A40 Witney bypass and slip roads, new 40mph speed limits on the B4022 Oxford Hill, High Cogges Road, and South Leigh Road, a new 'No Entry' restriction on the A40 Eastbound off-slip road at its junction with the B4022 Oxford Hill, and new 'Clearway' restrictions on the A40 Eastbound off-slip and Westbound on-slip roads. These measures are intended to improve access to Witney and manage traffic flow.
Headington Market, Oxford – TRO Amendments
Amendments to parking restrictions in Headington were approved to create dual-use bays for market traders on Saturdays. These changes affect Kennett Road, London Road, and New High Street, allowing market traders to use designated bays between 6 am and 4 pm. Additionally, a shared-use parking bay adjacent to No. 45 Gladstone Road was removed and replaced with 'No Waiting At Any Time' restrictions to ensure safe access.
Proposed No Waiting Restrictions - Oxford Science Park Primary Substation, Grenoble Rd, Littlemore
New 'No Waiting at Any Time' parking restrictions (Double Yellow Lines) were approved for the eastern side of Grenoble Road at Greater Leys. These restrictions are necessary to ensure the required visibility splay for new access and egress points being constructed for the Oxford Science Park development.
Westminster Way, Botley - Proposed Permit Parking Area
The introduction of double yellow lines on sections of several roads in the Westminster Way area of Botley was approved. However, the introduction of 'Residents permit parking places only' on other lengths of these roads was deferred. The approval also included the introduction of cycle parking on West Way. The deferral of the permit parking areas is to allow for further parking beat surveys to be conducted after the West Way development is fully occupied.
Shrivenham Parking Review 2026
A review of the parking scheme in central Shrivenham led to the approval of several measures. These include 'No Waiting at Any Time' parking restrictions on Fairthorne Way, Highworth Road, Martens Road, Manor Close, and Manor Lane. Additionally, one Disabled Persons Parking Place on High Street will be relocated to Church Walk, and an existing shared-use bay will be extended. A new motorcycle parking bay will also be introduced on High Street. Properties from 1-11 High Street will also be included in the list of dwellings eligible for residents and visitor parking permits.
Land at 60-68 Broadway, Didcot - Parking Amendments
New 'No Waiting at Any Time' parking restrictions (Double Yellow Lines) were approved for the northern side of Broadway in Didcot. These changes are required due to the creation of a new access junction for a commercial development at the site.
Proposed Parking Permit Eligibility Changes - Oxford City
Amendments to parking permit eligibility for several properties across Oxford City were approved. These changes include excluding specific properties in Lye Valley, Marston North, North Summertown, and Cowley Marsh from resident and visitor permit eligibility. Properties in North Oxford will be included for visitor permits only, and 'South Lodge' on Banbury Road will have its eligibility confirmed for both resident and visitor permits. These amendments are linked to planning conditions or administrative corrections.
Brize Norton and Carterton: Proposed 30mph Speed Limit at Monahan Way, Norton Way and Carterton Road
New 30mph speed limits were approved for the full length of B4477 Monahan Way, Carterton Road, and Norton Way, replacing the existing 40mph limits. This decision follows a revised consultation after initial proposals for 20mph limits were deferred. The changes are intended to improve road safety and align with future development plans.
Langford Lane, Kidlington - Proposed 30mph Extension
The extension of the existing 30mph speed limit on Langford Lane in Kidlington was approved. This measure is part of a development scheme and aims to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists by reducing vehicle speeds.
Proposed 20mph Speed Limit - Compton Beauchamp
A 20mph speed limit was approved for Compton Beauchamp, replacing the existing 30mph limit. This decision follows a request from the Parish Council and aligns with the council's Vision Zero programme to promote road safety and active travel.
Proposed 20mph Speed Limit - Hardwick Hill, Banbury
The introduction of a 20mph speed limit within the Hardwick Hill residential development in Banbury was approved. This measure is part of the planned adoption of the estate roads and aims to enhance road safety for residents and promote active travel.
Proposed 20mph Speed Limit - Fordwells
A new 20mph speed limit was approved for unnamed roads within Fordwells, running through the village, to Leafield, and to Swinbrook. Additionally, the existing 20mph speed limit on the unnamed road through Asthall Leigh will be extended northwards. These changes are being implemented following a request from the Parish Council to improve road safety.
The meeting was held on Thursday, 18 June 2026, and decisions will become effective at 5.00 pm on 26 June 2026, unless called in for review.
