The date in which a decision is set to be made about cycling on a pedestrianised street in Bicester has been confirmed by Oxfordshire County Council.
This follows the end of a public consultation in which the public were asked to share their views on proposals to allow two-way cycling on Sheep Street, where cycling is currently prohibited.
The consultation ended on Saturday, August 31 and officers will now prepare a report for the cabinet member for transport management, Andrew Gant, to make a decision on whether to implement the cycling trial.

This would be an implementation of an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) to trial cycling in Sheep Street for a maximum of 18 months.
Oxfordshire County Council has confirmed a decision is scheduled to take place at the cabinet member’s delegated decisions meeting on November 14.

If the trial is approved, a new public consultation will be held for the first six months of the trial for people to give their views on cycling in Sheep Street.
The responses to this second consultation will also be reported to Andrew Gant.
They will decide if cycling should be made permanent, this could include cycling at all times, or cycling only at specific times - or it may be decided that cycling should not be permitted.
