Traffic blocking junction
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
On behalf of the Caversfield Management Committee, please can I make a request to have "Keep Clear" painted on the Skimmingdish Lane entrance to Turnpike Road. Due to the roundabout works on the B4100, throughout the day, because Aunt Em's Lane and Skimmingdish Lane is used as a detour, rat run, it is very difficult, and dangerous, to get out of the estate because of traffic blocking the junction, and unwilling to do otherwise. Something similar to the markings at the junctions to Bure Park would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. To introduce any restriction on traffic, for example, speed limits, parking restrictions, prohibition of movements, we need to promote a Traffic Regulation Order. This is a process whereby an Order is drafted by our Legal Department, describing the proposed restriction. This will be advertised during a formal consultation process and comments invited. If no objections are received, the Order can be brought into operation with lining and signs on the ground. If there are objections, these will be reported at the appropriate Committee where a decision will be made taking into account levels of support and objections. We work this way with local Towns and Parishes who wish to promote such restrictions. The onus is on them to propose a scheme which suits their local needs and then we can act in an advisory capacity and carry out the required legal aspects. You may wish to take this up with your local Parish or Town Council who may be aware of other similar requests, you can visit the Oxfordshire County Council’s website: https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/ residents/ roads-and-transport/ street-maintenance-z/ road-repairs
