Meetings:

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday May 22nd at 7 pm in the Town Hall.
Dr Andrew Pritchard will speak on "A new Transport Hub for Oxford at Oxpens?"                            

Live issues:

Frideswide Square.
The County Council has decided on a design for the new Fridewide Square. See our News page for link to details.

Government initiatives on shared space: (Coming soon to a street near you?)

"Although pedestrians and motorists are equally entitled to occupy the carriageway, pedestrians generally exercise little control over vehicular traffic, other than at controlled crossings such as Zebra and Pelican crossings".

"Shared space: A street or place designed to improve pedestrian movement
and comfort by reducing the dominance of motor vehicles and enabling all
users to share the space rather than follow the clearly defined rules implied
by more conventional designs".

These quotes are from recent publications of the Department for Transport which include an important research report and guidance to local authorities on design issues.
