An image of a road sign reading “You are Now Leaving District 5” supposedly seen in Oxford is fake. This is among a number of social media posts we’ve seen spreading false information about new traffic proposals in the city.
about social media posts claiming traffic proposals in Oxford are part of a wider plan to confine residents to their neighbourhoods.
Some posts have claimed that residents will require “permission” to leave specific areas, as part of a plan to “divide-up the city of Oxford into six ‘15 minute’ districts”.by Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council, which “aims to ensure that every resident has all the essentials within a 15-minute walk of their home.”
However, neither the traffic scheme nor the 15-minute neighbourhoods proposal will require residents to seek specific permission from local authorities any time they wish to travel outside their neighbourhood, and unless residents are going by car, the schemes won’t have any impact on their ability to travel.
“The 15-minute neighbourhoods proposal aims to ensure that every resident has all the essentials within a 15-minute walk of their home. They aim to support and add services, not restrict them.”
