The Delegated Decisions by Cabinet Member for Transport Management meeting was scheduled to discuss several transport and infrastructure proposals across Oxfordshire. Key items included the approval of the Wallingford Area Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP), proposed traffic management measures on the A4130 at Steventon Lights, and the introduction of a Toucan crossing and shared-use path on Copenhagen Drive in Abingdon. The meeting was also set to consider the introduction of new bus stop clearways in Ladygrove, Didcot, and a proposed Puffin crossing on the A329 Reading Road in Cholsey. Additionally, decisions were scheduled regarding the introduction, removal, and formalisation of Disabled Persons Parking Places across Cherwell and West Oxfordshire districts, the extension of a 20mph speed limit on Old Road in Forest Hill, and the introduction of a 20mph speed limit in Brightwell Baldwin and Brightwell Upperton.
Wallingford Area Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP)
The meeting was scheduled to consider the approval of the Wallingford Area Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP). This plan, developed in line with Department for Transport guidance and in collaboration with local stakeholders, aims to identify and prioritise improvements to the walking, wheeling, and cycling network within Wallingford and its surrounding villages, including Crowmarsh Gifford, Benson, Ewelme, Shillingford, Warborough, Cholsey, and Brightwell-cum-Sotwell. The LCWIP identifies a network of routes and sets out high-level proposals for improvements over a ten-year period to encourage a modal shift from private vehicle use to walking and cycling. The adoption of this plan is intended to provide local policy backing to help secure funding from central government and through planning obligations from development sites. The plan supports Oxfordshire County Council's Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP) policies, which prioritise walking and wheeling, followed by cycling, and aims to contribute to targets such as replacing or removing one in four current car trips by 2030.
A4130, Steventon Lights - Proposed Traffic Management Measures
Proposals for traffic management measures on the A4130, Steventon Lights, were scheduled for consideration. These included recommendations to approve a 30mph speed limit on the A4130 west of the A34 Milton Interchange and on the B4017 Steventon Hill. Additionally, the introduction of bus lanes on the A4130 eastbound carriageway between its junctions with B4017 Steventon Hill and the A34 Milton Interchange was proposed. The meeting was also to consider 'No U-Turn' restrictions for westbound traffic on the A4130 west of the A34 Milton Interchange, at its signalised junctions with Trenchard Avenue and the B4017 Steventon Hill. These measures are being promoted to enhance road safety and improve public transport.
Copenhagen Drive, Abingdon - Proposed Toucan Crossing and Shared Use Path
The meeting was scheduled to consider proposals for Copenhagen Drive in Abingdon. These included the approval of a new Toucan crossing, to be located west of the roundabout junction of Wootton Road. Furthermore, the conversion of an existing section of segregated foot and cycleway south of the proposed Toucan crossing to a shared-use path was also on the agenda. These measures are part of a section 278 agreement for a nearby development, which requires the introduction of a toucan crossing and cycle facilities.
Proposed Bus Stops - Ladygrove, Didcot
The introduction of two new bus stop clearways on Lady Grove in Didcot was scheduled for discussion. These clearways would include a 'No stopping except local buses' restriction on either side of Lady Grove. The provision of these bus stops was agreed as part of an outline planning application, with final locations determined through the S278 technical approval process.
Proposed Puffin Crossing - A329 Reading Road, Cholsey
Proposals for a new Puffin crossing on the A329 Reading Road in Cholsey, at the junction with Ferry Lane and Papist Way, were to be considered. The aim of this proposal is to improve road safety by providing a safer crossing point for pedestrians.
Proposed Disabled Persons Parking Places (DPPPs) - Cherwell and West Oxfordshire
The meeting was scheduled to address proposed Disabled Persons Parking Places (DPPPs) across the Cherwell and West Oxfordshire districts. This included recommendations to approve the introduction of new DPPP locations, approve the removal of existing DPPP locations, approve the formalisation of one DPPP, defer consideration of DPPP locations on Portway, Banbury for further investigation, and not approve the removal of a DPPP on Edmunds Road, Banbury. These proposals are in response to requests from residents requiring dedicated disabled bays.
Forest Hill, Shotover, Old Road: Proposed 20mph Speed Limit Extension
The extension of the existing 20mph speed limit on Old Road in Forest Hill was scheduled for discussion. This proposal is part of Phase 3 of the Countywide 20mph Speed Limit project.
Proposed 20mph Speed Limits - Brightwell Baldwin
The introduction of a 20mph speed limit within Brightwell Baldwin and Brightwell Upperton was on the agenda. This proposal is part of the Vision Zero project, which aims to improve road safety.
Proposed 20mph Speed Limit Extension - Land South of Green Lane, Chesterton
The extension of the existing 20mph speed limit on land south of Green Lane, Chesterton, was also scheduled for consideration. This extension is required as part of a development and aims to improve road safety.
The meeting also included standard procedural items such as declarations of interest, questions from County Councillors, and petitions and public address. The minutes of the previous meeting held on 26 March 2026 were also to be confirmed.
