Decision details

To seek approval for the introduction and amendments to Disabled Person Parking Spaces. Following requests from the public for the introduction of disabled parking places, the county council has consulted on new locations which have met our criteria. The report will present feedback on sites where there have been objections.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

The Chair noted that the changes were responses to individual needs, falling into the categories of approvals, removals and deferrals with further investigations.

Officers noted that further investigation showed that the proposed location in Kites Place, Kirtlington was on an unadopted highway. Thus, it would not be possible to add a disabled bay on that land. Officers confirmed that a deferral would allow for suitable locations to be found elsewhere.

The Chair thanked officers for their work and agreed to the recommendations.
