Local Plan Consultation Pushes for Carterton-Oxford Rail Link
What happened
Charlie Maynard, the Liberal Democrat representative for Witney, has called for residents to support a new railway line linking Carterton, Witney, and Oxford during the consultation for West Oxfordshire's Local Plan 2043. The draft local plan safeguards a corridor along the A40 for a future Mass Rapid Transit solution, such as rail, to address long-standing congestion concerns. The consultation for the West Oxfordshire version of the Local Plan ends on October 9.
