The section of the ring road that borders Langford Village is among the stretches where Oxfordshire County Council is suggesting drivers should see top speed cut from the existing 50mph limit to a new 40mph maximum.
The idea of having a 40mph limit along most of the ring road is now out for consultation and your views are invited. Click here to read more and see details on how to comment.
The section of the A41 between the Tesco roundabout and Graven Hill roundabout will also see a speed limit cut – from 60mph to 50mph.

The work to complete Charbridge Lane on the Bicester ring road is due to continue for a while yet. The rail track beneath the new bridge is due to start being laid in the summer.
The road is reopen to traffic and pedestrians again and the picture shows how the final realignment is planned when the work on the Langford side of the rail overbridge is complete.

Please note that you’re welcome to consider to book the Hall for casual and one-off events from 19th July 2021. However with the risks from ongoing Covid infection throughout the country we’ve now a local rule that bookings must only be for a MAXIMUM of 50 people in the Hall and only ONE party booking will be allowed on any single day.
Please do not book any event if you are seeking to invite more that 50 people as this is not permitted until further notice.
Thank you.
The LVCA Committee
To read the document that Langford Village Community Association has submitted to the East West Rail Consultation please click here. We are making the case for the London Road route to remain open to vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists. Our residents have indicated they most prefer a new road bridge being built alongside the existing road, for use when the level crossing is permanently closed because of increased rail services.

What’s involved in building a new road layout?
The East West Rail Company has already looked in some detail at the challenges of providing an alternative route for vehicles when, as seems likely, the London Road level crossing is closed because of safety linked to the new rail services to Milton Keynes and Cambridge.
We’ve extracted the pages of information from the Consultation Technical Report so that the details are easy to find. The pages can be viewed if you click here.
You can submit your thoughts to the Consultation here. Closing date is June 9th 2021.
