News on Ash and Tongham Enhancements

In March 2023 we shared plans for the first phase of planned improvement works in Tongham. The plans outlined changes to The Street, including the introduction of a series of raised tables, improvements to the uncontrolled pedestrian crossing point north of the Manor House flats and a footway parking ban. The plans also outlined changes to Oxenden Road including road narrowing and the addition of a speed cushion. Since sharing these plans some minor changes have been made, including the repositioning of a speed cushion and changes to the drainage. Please see the updated drawings on the phase one Tongham road safety improvements page.

The update shared in March also included information on proposed works to reduce vehicle speeds on Poyle Road – due to some changes to the plans for Poyle Road, it is now intended that these works will be delivered alongside the second phase of improvements in Tongham. This phase of the scheme is being designed in line with feedback received from engagement with residents last year and we will share plans at a later stage once they have been developed.
