Transport PolicyTransport Policy for the area is set out in Oxfordshire County Council’s Local Transport Plan3 (LTP3) and within this a Carterton Area Strategy 2011-2030 has been developed. Key elements include improving pedestrian facilities and creating good links, developing cycling routes to link residential areas to services, schools and employment, improving the frequency and attractiveness of public transport, reducing the need to travel and inefficient car use and making the best use of existing road space. This Strategy also says it will develop a detailed strategy which will be updated at regular intervals.Projects already agreed and likely to get underway early in the New Year include a number of additional cycle parks around the town and the development of a cycleway along the Burford Road to the town centre traffic lights. Carterton Town Council has set up a Transport Working Group which expects to be involved in developing this detailed strategy and press for action on priority projects for the area. This group will also be widened to involve other members of the community as part of the review of the Carterton Fast Forward Action Plan in 2012. The group is especially anxious to ensure that the considerable s106 funding held by the County Council on behalf of Carterton for transport projects is spent quickly and efficiently and on projects the community needs.
