CONSULTATION – East Hagbourne proposed 20mph Speed Limits
RE: CONSULTATION – East Hagbourne proposed 20mph Speed Limits
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 amend the existing 20mph speed limit in East Hagbourne that was implemented in May 2023, by extending it to cover all roads within the village – replacing the existing 30mph speed limit in the process. The 20mph limit will also cover Bishops Orchard from its junction with New Road for its entire length.
The proposals are being put forward following concerns raised by the parish over road safety, and form 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(s).
The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is scheduled to be advertised in the Oxfordshire Herald Series newspaper today; Wednesday 12th June 2024, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal at the address below:

As stated on the notice, any objections or other representations on the proposal should be submitted by Friday 05th July 2024.
