Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM 7).
To consider a proposal for a Controlled Parking Zone.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management agreed to DEFER a decision on the proposal as advertised for a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the Lower Wolvercote area so officers could explore an impact that this CPZ would have on parking in the area.
Minutes:
This report presents the consultation responses to the CPZ proposals for the Lower Wolvercote area of Oxford as part of the approved programme for introducing CPZs in the city. Measures to restrict and control car parking availability, including use of Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs), form part of the county’s emerging Central Oxfordshire Travel Plan (COTP) as well as recently adopted Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (adopted in 2022) and also Oxford City Council’s Local Plan (adopted in 2020). Much of Oxford is already covered by CPZs, with further CPZs planned and which are required to support several local transport and planning objectives.
Cllr Gant invited speakers to address the meeting and responded to the points made in their statements.
Cllr Gant felt that proposed CPZ details, as presented in the report, would not serve in the best interest of residents of Lower Wolvercote area and informed the meeting that he would defer a decision on this matter so the officers could explore an impact of the proposed CPZ would have on parking in the area.
