Oxford Transport Proposals

September 24, 2022 by Parish Clerk Administrator Login Leave a Comment

Oxfordshire County Council is proposing six trial traffic filters on key routes across Oxford to improve bus services and journey times, reduce walking and cycling accidents and improve air quality across the city. We are proposing to introduce them under an experimental traffic regulation order (ETRO) from summer 2023.

Anyone can provide feedback on the proposed trial by filling in the SURVEY, which will be open from 5 September (12 noon) to 13 October 2022 (midnight) and only needs to be completed once. O.C.C.  encourages you to read the consultation brochure, supporting information and documents - and looks at the location maps - before having your say.

About Blackthorn

Blackthorn is a small village 3 miles southeast of Bicester on the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire border. The parish is bounded by the River Ray to the south and the village lies between the A41 and B4011 main roads.

Grounded in Celtic history settled by the Romans and overrun by the Saxons, Blackthorn was then lost to history until the late 16th century. A hamlet of neighbouring parish Ambrosden, Blackthorn did not become a village in its own right until Queen Elizabeth I sold it to John Denton of Ambrosden for the princely sum of £612 3s. 9d.

Throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries Blackthorn had prosperous local businesses, a chapel and school and was a thriving farming community. This sense of community spirit is still at the heart of the village today.
