Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy (Commercial) (CMDDL6).

 

Minutes:

The Deputy Leader considered objections received to a formal consultation on proposals to introduce new parking restrictions in various roads in the vicinity of Bicester North station funded through the area stewardship fund by the local councillor and promoted in response to local concerns regarding danger and congestion caused from parking by rail commuters.

 

Councillor Waine commended the proposals which responded to concerns expressed by large groups of people who suffered from the effects of commuter parking.  He supported the conclusion that there were other issues in Woodfield Road and Blake Road, which was why that element of the scheme was not going ahead but he looked forward to working with officers to try and address the specific concerns which affected those areas. 

 

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, the representations made to him at this meeting and the further considerations set out above the Deputy Leader of the Council confirmed his decisions on this matter as follows:

 

(a)               approve the parking restrictions in Balliol Drive, Cedar Drive, Magdalen Close and part of Bassett Avenue as advertised as part of the Oxfordshire County Council (Bicester) (Traffic Regulation) (Amendment No.2*) Order 20**;

 

(b)               not approve the parking restrictions in Woodfield Road and Blake Road as advertised.

 

 

Signed

Deputy Leader of the Council
