Newsletter Autumn 2025

Dear supporters,

We hope you’ve had an enjoyable summer with plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling.

Update on the community path design work

We wrote to you last Christmas that Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) had appointed a design company to create final detailed plans for the path.  OCC received the full design plans it had commissioned late this summer. BikeSafe has had a chance to review them and we have given our feedback.

OCC will now submit the path designs to Active Travel England with the aim of receiving its comments and ultimately (some) funding.

A public consultation of the plans is hopefully expected spring 2026.

It is a long and slow process, but we will get there eventually!
