Cowley LTN survey Oct 2021

In October 2021, the Parish Council did a door-to-door survey of over 500 households in Littlemore about the Church Cowley Low Traffic Neighbourhood installed in March 2021.

Aims

The aim of this questionnaire and analysis was to get a better understanding of the effect of the Church Cowley (LTN) on the residents of Littlemore, the majority of which live outside the LTN.

This report was be given to the relevant county council officers before the official consultation closed. The dataset has also been anonymised and made open source so others can analyse it further if they wish.
