CONSULTATION – Crowmarsh Gifford & North Stoke proposed 20mph Speed Limits
Oxfordshire County Council wants to make our built environments safer and more attractive places to walk and cycle. To enable this, 20mph speed restrictions are being used to help promote alternative modes of transport for local travel. Further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found here.
We’re therefore asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit throughoutCrowmarsh Gifford, including North Stoke (excluding the A4074), replacing the majority of the existing 30mph speed limits in the process. A buffer 30mph speed limit will remain on the B4009 Wallingford Road to the north of North Stoke, with Officers having taken the current road environment & traffic usage into account. The proposals are being put forward following road safety concerns raised by the parish, and form part of a countywide programme of works that seeks to deliver ‘a safer place with a safer pace’ for the residents of Oxfordshire. In light of this, please find the following consultation documents attached:
- Public Notice,
- Statement of Reasons,
- Consultation Plan(s), and
- Draft Traffic Regulation Order.
The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is scheduled to be advertised in the Oxford Times newspaper tomorrow; Thursday 01st June 2023, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal at the address below:
As stated on the notice, any objections or other representations on the proposal should be submitted by Friday 23rd June 2023.

Crowmarsh Pavilion Project – Grand Opening Event Saturday 17th June!
Including an exhibition of historic village photographs
Dear Residents,
We are pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the Recreation Ground Pavilion’s new facilities, on Saturday 17thJune at 10.30am.
As many of you will know, the Parish Council’s Environment and Recreation Committee has been working for 12 months with the builders SCM, and with the project architect, Michael Simpson, to re-develop the north-eastern part of the Pavilion.
The improvements include: new public toilets, accessible from outside; a small drinks and food servery, opening onto a paved and landscaped outdoor dining terrace, with new benches; an outdoor table tennis table; and inside the Pavilion, a new, small events/meeting room.
We are particularly proud of the new outdoor disabled toilet/baby-changing facility, which can be accessed from the new outdoor terrace via a gently sloping ramp.
The project received an award of £73,016 from SODC’s capital grants programme and a grant of £67,238 from the FCC Communities Foundation, which gives grants for community projects through the Landfill Communities Fund. A generous grant of £75,000 plus contingency was also awarded to the project by Crowmarsh Parish Council.
The new servery is equipped with two hot plates, a microwave oven with grill, a fridge/freezer, a small dishwasher and a tea urn. It can be hired for one-off events (either inside the Pavilion, or outside), by local groups/residents wishing to serve refreshments at the Recreation Ground, either on a temporary or on a more regular basis. If interested, please apply to the secretary of the Parish Council, Mrs Sue Rance (email: [email protected]). The small events/meeting room will have a table with seating for up to 12 people, a large monitor for presentations, and WiFi. Users will also have direct access to the servery, with all of its refreshment facilities.
At the Grand Opening, on Saturday 17th June, we will cut a ribbon to open these new areas at 11.00am, as a band plays “Oom-pah” and refreshments are served. There will also be a special exhibition of historic village photographs in the Main Hall of the Pavilion. This has been kindly brought together by local historian David Beasley, especially for the event. We hope this will be of interest to both long-established and new residents of Crowmarsh alike.
Do come and join us at this special celebration marking the further development of our village facilities. We hope you will agree that Crowmarsh residents can now enjoy a Recreation Ground facilities that are second to none!
