Oxfordshire County Council proposes to extend the 30mph limit on the B4449 Cote Road, leading eastwards out of Aston. This is as a result of the development of land adjacent to the road.

Oxfordshire County Council proposes to introduce a 40mph speed limit in place of the existing 60mph National Speed Limit on the B4022 & B4030 in Enstone. The proposals have been developed at the request of the Parish Council.

Oxfordshire County Council’s current Home to School Transport Policy is more generous than the law requires for Post 16 students who have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and for post16 mainstream students who attend Henley College. Unfortunately, given the continuing pressure on public finances, the Council now needs to critically consider whether it should continue to maintain spending on this non-statutory assistance for these groups of post16 students. Therefore, Oxfordshire County Council is now consulting on proposed changes to its Home to School Transport Policy. The main proposals include ending free travel for most Post 16 SEND students, ending Post 16 subsidised transport to Henley College, clearly specifying when free travel will be provided to alternative education providers and continuing for a further year the current time limited free travel arrangements for those students who are resident at RAF Benson.
