O The report presented responses to the statutory consultation on the proposed amendment to times of operation of the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in various locations in South Oxford.

The Chair invited the speakers in turn to address the meeting and responded to points raised.

The Chair commented that this proposal was complex as it covered various streets, each with their own individual issues. It was a balancing act to meet all the requirements. The proposal was to help facilitate the use of sustainable transport modes and alleviate parking stress.

The Chair wanted to give assurance to businesses that loading and unloading on a double yellow line is permitted.

The Chair clarified with officers, details of the changed operational hours and use of visitor permits.

In reference to the bus company’s request for an uplift in enforcement, officers explained that enforcement officers visit the areas regularly. The Chair commented that there was more money in the budget for enforcement.

The Chair asked officers to keep the parking at the health centre under review.

The Chair thanked the speakers and everyone who had responded to the consultation.
