All this is doing is making people use their cars more using more petrol which is not environmentally friendly which defeats the object

The LTN's are too much. I live in Hillsborough and to get to Cowley centre, Cowley road or anywhere near Holloway or blackbird leys I need to go via Westbury crescent, down the main road and then along church Cowley road to get to between towns road. Currently with minimal traffic on the roads this still extends my time to get anywhere. When everyone is back at school, work and everything opens up again it will be a disaster. It only takes an accident on Westbury crescent to block the road and I won't be able to get home. Also not being able to go up the road from Cowley centre to Little more road which is a main road is ridiculous. If you live in rose hill and have a child at church Cowley school and work at Unipart you're trip to get to both is a nightmare. I appreciate people use these roads as cut through's but those of us that live here is causing major disruption. I really think it needs to be looked at again. When there have been accidents in the city and roads have been closed the city comes to a grid lock. These road closures will only add to that. Please reconsider these LTN'S.

Why do the residents of Cowley have to put up with this ... Oxford City move your trials to Walton Manor or North Oxford... How’s your Walton Street blockage going for local businesses?
If you don’t want cars driving on roads why do your all new housing developments have roads in them? Just look at the Wolvercote Mill development, roads everywhere,
Who do we vote for in the next election if we want this experiment to stop

The LTN in Church Cowley area is forcing all local residents to use the very dangerous Newman Road junction. Please allow local residents in Herschel Crescent, Bodley Road etc. to still use Bartholemew Road. I understand a camera is being installed in Bartholomew Road to fine anyone using Bartholomew Road except buses, local taxis and emergency vehicles. Why can’t local residents registration numbers be added to the list of vehicles that are exempt? This would still stop it being used as a rat run but allow local residents to use it. At the moment any journey I have to make is not only much longer but also more dangerous by having to use the Newman Road junction. How can this be good for reducing your carbon footprint and global warming? Please introduce this more flexible approach.

Totally against the traffic bollard in Bartholemew Road. There needs to be some flexibility to allow local residents to still be able to use Bartholemew Road. At the moment we can only use the very dangerous junction at Newman Road. Why can’t the camera allow local residents to pass through Bartholemew Road by recognising vehicle registration numbers?

LTN is an example of forcefully putting restrictions on people who pay Council Tax exactly as those who support the idea. The roads were built for a reason and making them inaccessible is going to cause a havoc somewhere else.

What normal takes me 5 minutes to get home from work now takes 15. Remove the boxes they are a waste of time and creating traffic.
