Following an earlier consultation carried out in July/August 2018 (for details click here) regarding the proposals to introduce to introduce a 30mph speed limit & various traffic calming features on Milton Hill/Potash Lane in Milton, Oxfordshire County Council is now re-consulting on the proposals due to the expiration of the 2-year period within which the original proposals needed to be implemented. Specifically the proposals comprise of the following (which haven't changed from when first advertised): a) introduce a 30mph speed limit on Milton Hill (not including the A4130) replacing the existing unrestricted 60mph speed limit, and b) to construct various traffic calming features, including; speed cushions, a raised table and road narrowing points. The proposals are being put forward for safety reasons due to the adjacent development of land for residential purposes. More »

Emerging South Oxfordshire Local Plan: Proposed Main Modifications Consultation
As you may be aware, the emerging South Oxfordshire Local Plan is at Examination stage. Following recent examination hearings, the Inspector has asked the council to prepare a 'Schedule of Proposed Main Modifications' to the plan.
The schedule reflects the modifications that are considered necessary by the Inspector to make the plan 'sound' before it can move to the adoption stage. These are the only significant changes that can be made to the plan now. More »
We are carrying out a six-week consultation on the Proposed Main Modifications and are asking for comments. There is no need to resubmit comments (representations) made at the Local Plan submission stage or in matters statements as your comments have already been considered as part of the Examination.
The Proposed Main Modifications consultation runs from 21 September until midnight on 2 November 2020.
