The public are being asked to share their views on proposals to allow two-way cycling on a street in Bicester.

The plan currently under consideration aims to implement an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) which would allow cycling on Sheep Street for a trial period of up to 18 months.

Oxfordshire County Council said its goal is to "enhance active travel in Bicester by making Sheep Street more accessible to cyclists".

It added it aims to "provide significant benefits for cyclists by improving the choice of routes across Bicester".

The change could improve access for all cyclists, including those with disabilities, and it is expected to attract more visitors to businesses, market days and festivals.

The aim of the scheme is to reduce dependence on private cars for local journeys, promoting sustainability.

Under the ETRO, cycling would be trialled in the section of Sheep Street which is currently designated a pedestrian zone, running from Market Square to Bell Lane.

The public's views will play a significant role in assessing the feasibility and impact of the proposal.

After the consultation period, a report will be submitted to the council's cabinet member for transport management who will decide whether to proceed with the trial.

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.
