• Cropredy served by routes 497 and 501 on Thursdays and Saturdays • Claydon served by route 497 on Thursdays
• R indicates that the service operates to these points on request only
Particular questions related to service D:
• Is there enough time in Banbury for each service?
• What days of the week should this service run, bearing in mind the existing provision for Cropredy and Claydon?
• Is a minibus (16 seats) likely to be sufficient?
• Is there likely to be sufficient demand for this service?
Oxfordshire County Council is inviting applications for 20mph speed limits from communities who currently do not have them. The County Council would fund all the legal work as well as signage etc.
The Parish Council discussed this subject at their recent meeting and makes a strong recommendation that the application process be started. If successful, the limits should be in place by the end of 2025.
The Parish Council would welcome the residents’ views on this subject. Please send your comments to the Parish Clerk.
