Decision details

Under a previously approved scheme for the introduction of cycle lanes and removal of parking on Bath Street, Abingdon - a commitment was given as part of the decision to review the provision of parking for residents who had raised concerns. The proposals will allow permit holders to park in existing 2 hour bays without time limit.

The Chair introduced the item, invited speakers to address the meeting and responded to their points in turn.

The Chair noted that this proposal mitigated the impact of lost parking when the cycle lane was introduced.

The Chair referenced the support of two local County Councillors and Abingdon Town Council.

Officers confirmed that residents will have virtual permits so that the registration numbers will be in the hand-held devices of enforcement officers.

The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED to:

a) Approve the proposal to replace the existing 2 hour limited waiting bays Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm on the east side of the B4017 Bath Street (from the junction with Letcombe Avenue to the Bath Street access path) with shared ‘2 hour limited waiting bays, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm or Permit holders’, as advertised.
