13 Dec
Summary
- A 20mph speed limit will be implemented across the UK's largest self-build housing development.
- The Graven Hill development, near Bicester, will eventually feature over 2,000 homes.
- New parking restrictions are also part of the measures to enhance road safety.
A significant safety initiative is underway at Graven Hill, the United Kingdom's largest self-build housing development. A new 20mph speed limit is set to be implemented throughout the expansive site, located near Bicester in Oxfordshire. This measure is part of a broader plan to enhance the safety and accessibility of the growing community.
Construction at Graven Hill commenced in 2016, with plans for over 2,000 homes upon its completion. The introduction of the reduced speed limit, alongside new parking restrictions, has been officially approved. These changes are intended to directly address concerns regarding road safety and to mitigate issues arising from unsafe parking practices within the development.
