To consider proposed waiting restrictions.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management AGREED to approve:

2) Approval of the as advertised ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions at the A361 and Chipping Norton Road at Chadlington to be implemented at an appropriate time with the decision to implement delegated to the Director for Highway Operations in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Highway Management.
Minutes:
This report presents responses received to a statutory consultation on the proposed the proposal to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions on the Chipping Norton Road and also on the A361 by the Chipping Norton Road junction to facilitate the safe passage of traffic and also to improve the safety of pedestrians currently parking on the verge to then access adjacent retail premises. Chipping Norton Road also facilitates the X9 bus service between Chipping Norton and Witney.
Cllr Gant invited speakers to address the meeting and responded to the points made in their statements.
Cllr Gant informed the meeting that recommendation 2 would be amended to read ‘Approval of the as advertised ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions at the A361 and Chipping Norton Road at Chadlington to be implemented at an appropriate time with the decision to implement delegated to the Director for Highway Operations in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Highway Management.’ as it wasn’t quite clear in the original recommendation what that process might look like.
Cllr Gant added that the report had a lot of detail on matters that have already happened and those that might needed to happen going forward. Nevertheless, Cllr Gant agreed with officers’ recommendations, as amended, citing that current situation was not satisfactory and the proposals would help facilitate the safe movement of traffic.
