CONSULTATION – A361 Banbury Road southern end (Wardington) Proposed 30mph Speed Limit Extension

Letter from Oxfordshire County Council: Following an earlier consultation carried out in November/December 2018 regarding the proposals to introduce a new Puffin crossing on the A361 Banbury Road, and extend the 30mph speed limit at the northern end of Wardington, Oxfordshire County Council is now consulting on an additional proposal to help further mitigate the increase in traffic linked to the HS2 construction works. Specifically the proposal seeks to extend the 30mph speed limit at the south end of the village by 73 metres, reducing the length of the existing 50mph speed limit by the same amount.

HS2 / Fusion update to road works

HS2 / Fusion update to the A361 road works through Wardington. Widening 1 ( adjacent to Old Bonhams) is now complete – Temporary barriers were removed in error last weekend and are now back up.
