Surveyors are now on the ground along the route, as the photo shows.
Bike Safe report a good working relationship, both with the County Council and with other stakeholders – not least the University of Oxford, which owns much of the land on which the path will be built and has been steadfast in their support for the path.
DATELINE 05/06/2024: The long-awaited cycling and walking path will now run from the A40 roundabout to the toll bridge, then all the way to the junction with Westway and Botley Road. Bike Safe campaigners welcome this northern extension agreed with Oxfordshire County Council, in the light of plans for more housing in and near Eynsham, and especially the new settlement at Salt Cross. More on the route
Funding has also been secured for a comprehensive review of the proposed route and to update key planning requirements such as environmental surveys, road safety assessment and collaboration with key stakeholders such as service providers (cables, pipelines etc) and bus service provision.
