Cabinet Member: Transport Management

Forward Plan Ref: 2024/319

Contact: Michelle Plowman, Team Leader – Road Agreements, South (Michelle.Plowman@oxfordshire.gov.uk)

Report by Director of Environment and Highways (CMDTMT11).

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

Approve the implementation of parking restrictions and traffic calming features as follows:

a)    The introduction of no waiting at any time restrictions (double yellow lines) on sections of Armstrong Road as advertised.

b)    The introduction of raised tables on sections of Armstong Road as advertised.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

Officers clarified why no objections were made initially in 2020, as the development has not yet been built and no-one was living on Armstrong Road at that point.

The Chair referred to several of the consultation responses, but noted the context of the decision to be made, in terms of the Section 278 agreement made and agreed through the planning process.

Officers noted that blue badges are allocated to the person rather than the vehicle, and also referenced the observation period for double-yellow lines so that parking enforcement officers can distinguish between a legitimate need to be there or not.

The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED to:

Approve the implementation of parking restrictions and traffic calming features as follows:

a)    The introduction of no waiting at any time restrictions (double yellow lines) on sections of Armstrong Road as advertised.

b)    The introduction of raised tables on sections of Armstong Road as advertised.
