8th October 2026
Oxfordshire County Council are asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit on the new roads within ‘Hampden Gardens’ (i.e. Thame Park Estates) residential development south of the B4012 Wenman Road, at the south-eastern end of Thame.
This current consultation relates to the new housing estate off Wenman Road. The speed limit on the roads of the existing housing estate to the west of Hode Garth is NOT part of this 20mph consultation.
The proposals will help promote road safety for all road users within the estate and will ensure adherence to the Councils policy that all new residential developments should see a lower speed limit as standard.
Have your say
Please read the detailed information provided on this consultationand take the time to complete the survey as your views and opinions matter. Your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 23 October 2026.
What happens next?
The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for later in 2026. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports for meetings will be made available on the Oxfordshire County Council website about a week before the meeting (please note that occasionally it is necessary to defer reports to a later meeting, and it is therefore advisable to check the agenda ahead of attending a meeting). The Forward Plan of decisions meetings can be viewed on Oxfordshire County Council's website.
