Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy (Commercial) (CMDDL13).

The Deputy Leader of the Council considered proposals to introduce new parking restrictions in the centre of Brize Norton village.  The proposals had been the subject of formal consultation and objections had been received.

Councillor Couchman commended the scheme and referred to the desire expressed by the Parish Council to improve safety between the school and the church.  There was a bad bend on that particular stretch and any parking along it represented a hazard, referring even to parking on the mini roundabout itself and along the Caterton road.

Mr Tole advised that objections had been in the main based on use of public funds on a scheme not seen as a priority but one which was supported by the Parish Council.

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

to approve the parking restrictions set out in this report and advertised as part of the Oxfordshire County Council (Various Roads - West Oxfordshire) (Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting and Permitted Parking) (Variation No.1) Order 20**

Signed……………………………….

Deputy Leader of the Council
