Agenda item

To receive an update from Oxfordshire County Council on the above ETRO which included Tower Hill Primary School.

The Committee received an update from Oxfordshire County Council on the Safer Streets Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) which included Tower Hill Community Primary School.

Members were disappointed the scheme would not be continued in Witney. The committee had suggestions for future such projects, which should be included in the response to the County Council consultation.

Resolved:

That, Witney Town Council is disappointed that the Safer Streets scheme at Tower Hill Community Primary School is not being progressed following this Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO).

The Council is aware that schools and parents still covet Safer Street schemes to facilitate safer and active travel for schoolchildren. It would like to suggest that any future projects include the provision of enforcement infrastructure from the outset, such as ANPR and/or flashing speeds figures, as these would greatly benefit its viability and success.
