<\/a>
\nA notice has appeared this week about a proposed new pelican crossing. The new crossing was suggested by the developer who wants to build 160 houses in a field bordering South Abingdon. <\/p>\n

When the planning inspector overturned the decision of the Vale of White Horse District Council, and allowed those houses, he did stipulate that traffic mitigation measures be put in before the houses were built. So, if allowed, these crossings will be funded by the developer.
\n<\/a>
\nThe scheme would involve adding a pelican crossing 25 metres from the end of Ock Street. The intended effect of this is to make it easier for vehicles turning left out of Drayton Road.
\n<\/a>
\nThen the existing Pelican Crossing at the other side of the double mini roundabout, put in for students going to Larkmead School, would be moved 60 metres further along the Marcham Road. I believe a barrier would be put in place at the existing crossing, with a gate – to allow access to the MG Park. <\/p>\n

This proposal would increase the number of crossings along Ock Street and Marcham Road from 5 to 6.<\/p>\n

Any objections should be made by 7 February 2014 by email to Anthony.Kirkwood@Oxfordshire.gov.uk <\/p>\n

or my post to:
\nAnthony Kirkwood
\nRoad Safety Engineering Team
\nOxfordshire County Council

The decision is likely to be made on 27th March. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
