Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 13:01 · Archive

Oxfordshire County Council has proposed a 20mph speed limit for all roads within the Hampden Gardens housing development in Thame.

Oxfordshire County Council has proposed a 20mph speed limit for every road within the Hampden Gardens housing development in Thame, also known as Thame Park Estates. The development is located south of the B4012 Wenman Road at the south-eastern edge of Thame, with the proposed 20mph restriction applying to roads south of the B4012 and east of Hode Garth.

The council said the measure would enhance safety for all road users within the estate, in line with its policy of making lower speed limits standard on new residential developments. Residents and road users are invited to comment on the proposal through a public consultation.

Detailed consultation documents are available online, where people can complete a survey and submit views until the consultation closes at 5pm on 23 October. After the consultation period ends, the council will review the responses received. If objections are raised, officers may compile a report for the Cabinet Member for Highway Management, which is expected to be presented at a public meeting later in 2026. Members of the public can apply to speak at the meeting.
