Oxford, Marston South Controlled Parking Zone

Copies are attached to the signed copy of this decision.

Summary of representations in person

Mr Darke expressed disappointment at the level of consultation undertaken and requested consideration be given to reaching a compromise between the needs of pedestrians and car parking in those communities where streets were narrow and where parked cars had traditionally straddled the footpath. He suggested that a Minimum Impact Zone would be better suited for introduction in cul-de-sac rather than the Lakes as proposed and that restriction times be changed to 10am until 4pm and highlighted potential problem in Ferry Lane.

Mr Kingshott advised that the County Council had undertaken more than the legal requirement for consultation and that he scheme had been subject to refinement even after the formal consultation process. With regard to parking on footpaths this had been allowed where a minimum width could be protected for pedestrians. With regard to the suggested change to restriction times of 10 am until 4 pm he advised that that preference had not been borne out by the results of the consultation.

Cabinet Member’s Comments

Supporting the proposals Councillor Robertson stressed the importance of reviewing the scheme as set out in recommendation (d).
