to approve the proposed provision of Disabled Persons Parking Places (DPPP) at: Bridge Street Banbury; Bretch Hill, Banbury; Cheviot Way, Banbury; Evenlode Drive,  Bicester; New Street, Deddington - noting this DPPP is to be an informal rather than statutory DPPP; The Paddocks, Deddington; Wadards Meadow, Witney; Leys Close, Wroxton;
