Report by Director of Environment and Highways (CMDTM5).

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

a)    Retain the price of the MyBus day tickets at current levels in response to analysis of their usage and benefits.

b)    Approve a price increase for the MyBus weekly tickets from 11 January 2026, or as soon as practical thereafter, as follows:

·       From £25 to £30 for an adult week ticket

·       From £14.50 to £17 for a young person week ticket

c)    Approve the reallocation of £1,895,857 to the MyBus scheme in 2025/26 from other bus related projects detailed at para 27: £240,000 from Oxfordshire County Council (the Council) internal funding and £1,655,857 from the Department for Transport (DfT) Bus Grant allocation.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

The Chair noted that due to the success of the scheme, it had ended up costing more money than anticipated as the County Council reimbursed the bus companies the difference between the price of a normal ticket and the different offers, as well as the government decision to increase the national fare cap from £2 to £3.

The Char noted that the approach moving forward would try to safeguard the benefits of the scheme, whilst addressing the funding gap.

The Chair outlined the difference in performance between the weekly and daily ticket offers. The recommendations proposed an increase in the weekly daily ticket price, but not the daily offer.

The Chair asked officers if the national Bus Grant allocation, which had been recently received, made any substantial difference to this scheme. Officers commented that they would be reviewing allocations received, but that the first priority would be to maintain existing bus service provision.

The Chair noted how the scheme reflected the County Council’s commitment to LTCP through supporting public transport, particularly for young people, who had higher subsidies to encourage greater use.

The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.

Report by Director of Environment and Highways (CMDTM6).

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to: 

a)    Approve the introduction of Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders (ETROs) to facilitate the introduction of ‘school streets’ for the following schools: 

·       Edith Moorhouse Primary School and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Carterton 

                                 8:15 – 9:15am and 2:30 – 3:30pm Term time only.                  

·       Harriers Banbury Academy, Banbury 8:15 – 9:15 am and 2:30 – 4:00 pm Term time only.

·       Willowcroft Community Primary School and St Birinus Boys School, Didcot 8- 9 am and 2:30 – 3:30pm Term time only.

b)    Approve the introduction of Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) to extend the school street for the following school: 

·       Sandhills Community Primary School, Oxfordshire County Council, 8-9 am and 2:30 – 3:30 pm Term time only.

c)    Approve the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at the school streets as the method of enforcement of the road closures during the operational hours, as set out in the consultation.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their addresses and responded to their points in turn.

Officers stated that they were delivering school streets proposals with limited resources of both time and funding, as well as due to the complicated nature of these types of schemes through engagement with schools. The Chair reiterated his belief that it was better to properly design the schemes, even if they took longer, to ensure that they were right for each individual area.

Officers noted that they were trying to work with the Sandhills Community Primary School and parents to encourage use of the Park & Ride, given the free 1 hour bays available.

Officers confirmed that two ANPR cameras would be needed on Delbush Avenue, covering the entire road.

The Chair noted the importance of reading all consultation responses, rather than tallying up responses for one side and the other.

Officers noted that arrangements had been made with the Didcot Wave to use their parking as a ‘park and walk’ zone.

Following representations from the local member, officers stated they’d look at the possibility of adding in double-yellow lines on Bloxham Road to complement the school streets proposals in Banbury.

Officers confirmed there were multiple ‘park and walk’ locations in Carterton that could be used by parents within short distances of the proposed school streets and would work with schools to promote them. The Chair noted that approval had been given to crossings on the walks from ‘park and walk’ sites to schools, with funding being made available. Officers committed to looking at improvements in the speed of delivery of these crossings to better align the school streets programme of work.

The Chair referred to several consultation responses. Officers confirmed that delivery vehicles and carers would be exempt from the scheme.

Officers confirmed that the ANPR can only be used to enforce the scope of the school streets scheme and that it would comply with the Council’s GDPR policies. The data collected could only be used for the purposes in which it was collected.

Officers noted that the installation of equipment at the Carterton site was to allow officers to establish what the baseline situation was for the roads and surrounding areas were. If the scheme were to be approved, further monitoring would take place to allow for comparable data pre and post-school street implementation.

The Chair noted that data gathering was an important part of evidence-based policy making and did not infer decisions had already been made.

The Chair asked officers for potential installation dates if the scheme was approved. Officers responded that it could potentially coincide with February half term, but that this was dependent on installation programmes.

The Chair explicitly stated that this would be introduced as an experimental traffic regulation order (ETRO) as a trial, meaning it would be a live consultation to see if the changes have the intended positive impact.

The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed  ...  view the full minutes text for item 105/25

The Chair referred to written statements from the local County Councillor and one of the local City Councillors on the proposals in Headington.

Officers noted the responses and stated that the design and location of the cycle parking locations balanced the need of different road users, such as emergency service vehicles and residents. It was also noted that the locations could provide natural traffic calming measures.

Officers commented on the proposals at Leckford Place, where cycle parking would take over one current car parking space, if approved. It was noted that residents in Wyndham House could apply for car visitor permits as and when required.

Officers noted that the proposals in Magdalen Road came about as a result of a request from the previous County Councillor, due to lots of businesses being in the area.

The Chair noted the petition sent directly via email regarding the proposals on Cherwell Drive. Officers confirmed the reason for deferral on Cherwell Drive was to allow another site visit for officers to make their judgment.

The Chair welcomed this proposal as a good step to help with the growing demand for cycle parking in Oxford.
