Roz and Ruth spoke at this morning’s Cabinet Member meeting along with four residents from the Windmill Road residents’ group and a resident from Headley Way.

The recommendations in the officers’ report were approved by the Cabinet Member, Cllr Nimmo-Smith.

In response to the concerns expressed by residents in the consultations and those expressed by the speakers, the Cabinet Member instructed officers to carry out a consultation to establish whether or not Windmill Road should be designated 20 MPH while the works relating to Access to Headington are carried out.

There is a difference between an area having a 20MPH limit, and an area being made a 20MPH zone, so we have some research to do on this in the ensuing months to make sure residents are fully informed ahead of the consultation.

We have no timescales currently on when works will be carried out but it is likely that the first tranche will take place off Old Road in Churchill/Roosevelt Drives.
