Headington and Marston will be specifically consulted about the county
council's 20mpm proposals at the meeting of the North East Area Committee to be
held at St Andrew's Primary School at 6pm on Tuesday 16 September.
The county council is consulting on whether to introduce a 20mph speed limit
on:
• all minor residential roads within the city of Oxford;
• all unnumbered through-roads except where they are part of heavily-used bus
routes into the city;
• sections of A and B roads that pass through busy shopping areas
(including the section of the London Road that passes through the Headington
District Shopping Centre, but not the rest of the London Road in Headington).

There is already an Order bringing in a 20mph speed limit on the Headington
Road from Pullens Lane to Headley Way: see

consultation").
But the police were not very happy with that idea: see
