Transport Plans for Oxford

County and City council officers held 3 virtual briefings and invited three people from each resident’s association to attend. They wanted to give residents associations the chance to ask questions about the proposals and comment on aspects of the scheme that they thought would be likely to affect those living in their area of the city ahead of a full public consultation starting in the summer. They were of the view that the feedback received would help them as they further develop the proposals and better prepare material about them for the summer consultation.

John Stobbs, Margaret Madden and Sally Cooper attended the first one of these sessions representing SENDRA and Ian Green attended a session as a representative of the Civic Society. Notes made at these meetings are available here:
