The Cabinet Member for Highways Management considered (CMDHM9) responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions at the south end of the Larkhill Road. Funding for the consultation on the proposals had been provided by Abingdon School who would also fund implementation if approved.

County Councillor Nathan Ley had expressed his support for the proposed waiting restrictions on Larkhill Road adding that the community was broadly supportive of the measures with the main priority being safety.
