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 scheduled to consider the proposed locations for new bus stops in Ladygrove, Didcot, and a new Puffin crossing on the A329 Reading Road in Cholsey.

Wallingford Area Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP)

The meeting was scheduled to consider the Wallingford Area Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) CMDTM23042026 - Wallingford LCWIP.pdf. This plan outlines a strategic approach to identifying and improving cycling and walking infrastructure in Wallingford and its surrounding villages, including Crowmarsh Gifford, Benson, Ewelme, Shillingford, Warborough, Cholsey, and Brightwell-cum-Sotwell. The LCWIP aims to support the delivery of Oxfordshire County Council's Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP) policies, which prioritise walking and cycling, and to develop comprehensive walking and cycling networks. The plan identifies a network of routes and sets out proposals for improvements over a ten-year period to encourage a modal shift from private vehicles to walking, wheeling, and cycling. The Cabinet Member was recommended to approve the Wallingford Area LCWIP.

A4130, Steventon Lights - Proposed Traffic Management Measures
