Following a previous statement on 24 June 2026, Wantage Town Council has not yet received any analysis from Oxfordshire County Council regarding the recent consultation on Market Place improvements. The council acknowledges that while there is community support for enhancing the Market Place, significant concerns remain about the details of the current proposal from the County Council.
Wantage Town Council believes the most effective immediate step for the town is to concentrate efforts on progressing the development of the West End. A permanent traffic order is already in place for this area, with the aim of creating a more pleasant and welcoming public space.
Recognising the potential availability of funding from Oxfordshire County Council, the Council has resolved to maintain regular engagement with the County Council. This is to ensure the continued availability of funds and the complete delivery of an agreed work programme for the West End.
