We have asked the County Council to update its Access to Headington website to show plans that were displayed at the Old Road Campus today. These show phase 1: works to the Roosevelt Drive Campus which are likely to take place from 17th October 2016 – the end of February 2017.
We have also requested that the County Council updates a special web page devoted to roadworks and road closures in Headington associated with both Access to Headington and the energy pipe works so that people can see at a glance which routes are useable.
We were not notified of the Old Road meeting until a resident brought it to our attention. We have asked when the public will be notified of future exhibitions and it seems that two are being arranged currently:
- Headington Ward Focus meeting at Headington Prep School, 26 London Road on Tuesday 27 September from 6:00-7:30
- another venue possibly around the Cheney School area within the next two weeks, venue to be confirmed
The display boards were for the Roosevelt Drive and Old Road area works only.
We have given details of residents’ groups to Skanska so that communication can be enhanced.
It appears that minor tweaks may still be made following resident comment at these events, and we are hopeful that two parking spaces proposed immediately before the junction of York Road with Margaret Road will be dropped because of on-going safety concerns
Roz, Altaf and Ruth will attend a councillors’ meeting at County Hall on 28th September for a briefing on the Access to Headington scheme.
