East Oxford Controlled Parking Zone Review 2008/09

Decision Maker: Transport Decisions Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Consider proposals arising from the review

Decisions:

The Committee considered a report (TD9) which discussed the outcome of a review of the East Oxford Controlled Parking Zone and its associated Permit Parking Scheme.

 

Jacqueline Sunderland welcomed the proposals to remove parking places outside 66 and 74 Princes Street which would address the difficulties of cars exiting Grants Mews.

 

Mark Davies referred to the loss of seven spaces in Union Street over the last 5 years.  He felt there was no coherent reason why this should happen and called for those spaces to be returned.  Residents needed more than 2 spaces.

 

Elizabeth Bell asked the Committee to reconsider the requirements for cars to be registered at a zone address when cars were registered in another EU member state.

 

RESOLVED:            to authorise the making of:

 

(a)               the Oxfordshire County Council (East Oxford) (Controlled Parking Zone and Waiting Restrictions) Consolidation Order 20** subject to the following amendments:

 

(i)            Boulter Street – Change the controls in the existing 1 hour parking place, 8am – 6.30pm Monday – Saturday into 2 hour parking where permit holders are exempt from the time limit;

 

(ii)          Cherwell Street – Remove the proposed Permit Holders Only Parking outside 25 Cherwell Street and replace with No Waiting at Any Time;

 

(iii)        Cowley Place – That the existing No Waiting At Any Time be retained between StHilda’s College Gate and the cul-de-sac end of Cowley Place and that the proposed 3 hour shared parking places terminate at the present limit of the 24 hour parking on the western side of Cowley Place, adjacent to the St Hilda’s Gate Keepers Lodge;

 

(iv)         JeuneStreet – Change Proposed TRO to reflect the existing layout of permit holders’ only parking;

 

(v)     Princes Street – Because of the shortage of parking opportunities and the comments received that the parking place outside no 66 should be retained and its removal reviewed at a later date but that the space outside 74 Princes street be removed and replaced with No Waiting At Any Time;

 

(vi)         Remove the existing parking places outside numbers 66 and 74 Princes Street and replace with No Waiting at Any Time;

 

(vii)       Temple Street – Reduce the extent of proposed additional permit holder parking place near Kingdom Hall by approximately one third and extend the No Waiting at any time protecting the adjacent access to meet it;

 

(viii) Morrell Avenue – to include into the East oxford Order the eastern part which had been proposed for inclusion in the Divinity Road Controlled Parking Zone
