Potential Brize Norton public realm improvements
Brize Norton public realm
A range of options have been considered for a public realm and traffic calming scheme in the village. This could include:
- Improvements to the village character through design interventions that create a safer, more pleasant environment for residents and visitors
- Enhanced pedestrian priority measures to make walking safer and more convenient
- Continuous footways to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity
- Contrasting surfacing at crossings to highlight pedestrian priority areas
- Build-outs along Station Road to slow down traffic
- The impacts of this scheme will be assessed within detailed traffic modelling
A Cultural Hub in Carterton
There are opportunities to contribute to Carterton's long-term vision by supporting the West Oxfordshire District Council with their initiatives for the Carterton Area Strategy. This could explore opportunities for the delivery of a cultural hub as part of the Carterton town centre regeneration. This could:
- Provide flexible spaces for exhibitions, performances, and community activities
- Foster community cohesion by creating inclusive spaces where people from diverse backgrounds can connect and build relationships
- Enhance quality of life through improved access to arts and culture, and creative opportunities
- Create a strong sense of belonging by celebrating local talent and reinforcing community identity
- Attract visitors, which would generate income for local businesses
