A new Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) has been approved
A new Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) has been approved to stop illegal pony and trap racing on the A40 between Witney and Burford, following serious safety concerns raised by residents and Thames Valley Police.
The decision follows 19 recorded incidents since 2020 and a public consultation, where a strong majority supported the ban. The order prohibits pony and trap racing along the affected stretch of road, with signage to be installed to raise awareness.
The PSPO will be in place for three years and enforced by Thames Valley Police, with the Council supporting enforcement. Residents are encouraged to report any breaches directly to the police.
