Decision details

Under the County Council's policy to rollout new CPZs across Oxfordshire, a new scheme is being promoted to reduce opportunities for commuter parking and to reduce car use within the city.

The Chair stated that items 5 & 6 on the agenda would be taken together to address similar points raised.

The Chair clarified with officers if there was specific concern surrounding the primary school identified in the report. Officers noted that the CPZ was intended to try and enforce the school streets policy, and to stop parking on zig-zag lines when collecting children from school.

The Chair noted concerns from consultation respondents regarding the provision of disabled parking spaces. Officers confirmed that blue badge holders can park on single and double yellow lines.

The Chair thanked officers for their thorough report and thanked speakers for their contributions to the meeting.
