Residents call for bus gate

Residents living in an Oxfordshire street that is outside controversial traffic-calming measures are calling for the authority to add their road.

East Oxford currently has three low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) — Divinity Road, St Clement’s, and St Mary’s.

Those living on nearby Morrell Avenue have said traffic has increased since the LTNs came in, causing ‘gridlock’; they are therefore calling for a bus gate so only buses and residents can get through.

Oxfordshire County Council said it planned to meet with residents in order to discuss the idea with them.
