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 invited speakers to make their addresses and responded to their points in turn.
The Chair read out a written submission from Littlemore Parish Council.
Officers clarified that the proposed scheme was not 24/7, but that the operating hours were from 8:30am to 6:30pm, 7 days a week.
The Chair referenced proposals which formed part of the 2024/25 budget.
The Chair referred to an issue relating to business permits for Church Cowley St James Primary School, which officers confirmed had been resolved.
The Chair pointed out that transport policies could not be seen in isolation from other policies more widely that affect key sectors in the city.
The Chair asked about the synergies between the recommendations, and officers confirmed that they could be taken forward separately if one recommendation was approved and the other not, should that be the decision that was taken.
The Chair referenced several consultation responses and confirmed they are taken into account when making decisions.
The Chair re-iterated that CPZ’s were the policy of the County Council and were confirmed in LTCP5 (Local Transport and Connectivity Plan 5) and formed part of the 2024/25 budget.
The Chair referenced previous decisions regarding CPZ’s in neighbouring areas and stressed the need for consistency.
The Chair thanked officers for their work, thanked speakers for their contributions and agreed to defer recommendation a) and approve recommendation b).
