Witney residents invited to comment on Spring Meadow one-way plan

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 06:19 · Archive

Witney residents can comment on plans to formalise a one-way traffic restriction on Spring Meadow until 23 October.

Oxfordshire County Council is consulting on a Traffic Regulation Order to formalise a one-way restriction on Spring Meadow in Witney. Vehicles would be allowed to travel clockwise around the road, with a new No Entry restriction preventing northbound or anti-clockwise travel.

The council says the measures are being proposed for road safety reasons and represent no change to the arrangements already in place. The formalisation is necessary because plans are in place for the roads within the development to be adopted, meaning existing restrictions must meet legal standards.

Witney residents and other interested people can view the order and documents on the council's consultation portal and submit responses. The deadline for comments is 5pm on Friday 23 October. The council will then review responses, and if objections are received, officers will prepare a report for the Cabinet Member for Highway Management. The report is expected to go before a public meeting later in 2026, where members of the public may apply to speak.
