Eynsham can expect a significant amount in ‘developer funding’ from new housing to the north and west, as and when that happens. How would you allocate the money?
Here’s a traffic-related ‘shopping list’ from Eynsham Draft Neighbourhood Plan, based on earlier consultations with residents:
-
PARKING in the village centre
-
TRAFFIC management and cycle paths
-
SMARTER entrances & retail areas.
Can we work out what matters most?
The Parish Council seems to feel the choice is made already: it has spent almost £6000 researching a village-wide 20mph zone, with 10 ‘highway intervention points’ (as shown below) at an estimated total cost approaching £500,000.
This extract from the consultants’ draft report provides some background: the original was published last September but has received very little attention.
Here are the ‘targets’ and costings (view detail):
-
Hanborough Road £52,680
-
Newland Street £42,760
-
Mill Street £37,680
-
Harris’s Corner £23,400 plus ‘bus gate’
-
High Street £47,640
-
Oxford Road £30,180
-
Station Road £20,700
-
Witney Road S £51,240
-
Witney Road N £74,220
-
Spareacre Lane £69,540.
