Thank you to all who participated in the recent 20mph survey. As the survey indicated, this is part of Oxfordshire County Council’s (OCC) programme to implement 20 mph speed limits in areas where there is support from the community.

In 2022 the Parish Council had expressed its support for this initiative and for a consultation to be conducted. Based on this expression of support, OCC added Appleton with Eaton to its proposed scheme for Phase 3 which would only be implemented based on a formal consultation. OCC suggested that parish councils provide a general picture of residents’ views to give them information prior to their consultation.  This survey in no way determines the outcome of their consultation.

The Parish Council has collated the responses from the survey conducted in December 2023. To view the responses, click here. This document will be sent to OCC and the Parish Council will express no view.

The next step is for OCC to carry out the legal traffic order consultation that is required for any speed limit change. The Parish Council is not aware of when this would be, but Appleton with Eaton is in phase 3 of OCC’s programme. For information on this, click here.
