CONSULTATION – South Newington proposed 20mph Speed Limits

Posted on

Oxfordshire County Council wants to make our built environments safer and more attractive places to walk and cycle. To enable this, 20mph speed restrictions are being used to help promote alternative modes of transport for local travel. Further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found here.

We’re therefore asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit throughout South Newington, replacing the majority of the existing 30mph speed limit in the process. Sections of existing 30mph speed limit will remain in place at the northern & southern ends of the A361 leading out of the village and on the Wigginton Road, with Officers having taken the current road environment & traffic usage into account.

The proposals are being put forward following road safety concerns raised by the parish, and form part of a countywide programme of works that seeks to deliver ‘a safer place with a safer pace’ for the residents of Oxfordshire. In light of this, please find the following consultation documents attached:

The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is scheduled to be advertised in the Banbury Guardian newspaper today; Thursday 20th July 2023, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal at the address below:

https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/southnewington_20mph2023

As stated on the notice, any objections or other representations on the proposal should be submitted by Friday 11th August 2023.

Kind Regards,

CORONATION CELEBRATIONS IN SOUTH NEWINGTON – MEMORIAL MOSAIC MAKING + TEA PARTY

Posted on

 

South Newington Requests the Pleasure of Your Company To celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla

MEMORIAL MOSAIC MAKING
A bespoke mosaic has been commissioned for South Newington and everyone in the village is invited to come and help make it.
Please come along to either or both workshops in the village hall:

Saturday 22nd April 2 – 6 pm
Saturday 29th April 2 – 6 pm

The mosaic will be 3’ x 3’ in size and mounted in the village when completed. The designer will bring along all the material needed to complete the mosaic, but if you would like to include any pieces of found porcelain or old costume jewellery to use in the mosaic (such as ‘jewels’ for the crown) that would be very welcome and mean that it really does hold South Newington memories.

You or your family could chose to work on one square and draw your own design, or ask Sophie the designer to draw a picture which you work on. Or you could do the lettering, or the Union Jacks, or any part of the picture you like. Sophie will be there to help.

We would like to keep a record of who helped complete the mosaic so that it also becomes a ‘time capsule’ of the village community in 2023.

The mosaic is being commissioned from Sophie Mack Smith of Oxford Mosaics aka ‘Shattered and Smashed’ on Instagram.

 

VILLAGE BRING & SHARE TEA PARTY – SUNDAY 7th May from 3pm
The village hall and garden will be laid out for a community tea party and celebration, everyone welcome! Please bring your family and food for a fun and friendly afternoon.
