Carterton to Swindon Service

So far, the Transport and Access Group, set up as part of the original CFF project, has carried out an access audit and followed up the results, overseen improvements to signs in the town, and developed an integrated travel information point. It has carried out transport needs surveys and contributed to the County Transport Review. The group also helped with arrangements to enable volunteer drivers to use the minibuses from the Community College for the Over 60s Club.

Future Plans

It is now intended to focus on the development of a strategy to encompass a range of transport issues, including cycle routes, links to the North East Development, and the need for new roads in the area. We have been encouraged to take this approach by Oxfordshire County Council Transport Planners, who have provided a list of the kinds of issues we should be considering - click here to view the ITS Ideas List.

Current Work

Our first priority has been to improve the cycleway network, and the County is currently developing plans to start this process.

The brief is for the investigation and implementation of the Carterton North South Cycle Route from the junction of Shilton Road with Swinbrook Road south to Carterton Town Centre along the east side of Burford Road, as well as considering the possible linkages across Carterton to be pursued at a later stage. The project will also include appropriate pedestrian/cycle route signage and cycle stands at key locations.
