Declarations of Interest See guidance below. Minutes: The Chair declared an interest in respect of agenda item 5, as the matter had attracted keen interest from residents in his own division who had approached him in that capacity and although he had not in any way pre-determined his position on the matter, to avoid any perception of bias or conflict between his responsibilities as a division councillor and his role as the Cabinet Member for Transport Management, he recused himself from taking the decision. The Leader of the Council, Councillor Liz Leffman, would make that decision on his behalf as per the Constitution. |

i. bus lane for northbound buses, from a point 61 metres north of Blenheim Drive for 707 metres towards the Wolvercote Roundabout, ii. remove section of the previous southbound bus lane from the Wolvercote Roundabout down to the junction with Field House Drive, iii. `No Waiting at Any Time` (double yellow lines) to replace the previous `No Waiting 8am-6.30pm` (single yellow lines) on the northwest arm of St Giles at a point opposite 12 metres southeast of the junction with Little Clarendon Street.

Minutes: The Leader of the Council, now in the Chair, introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their contributions and responded to their points in turn.
The Chair invited officers to introduce the proposals. Officers noted there were two separate proposals relating to the Woodstock Road bus lane and St Giles’ waiting restrictions.
The Chair reflected on issues raised, such as objections from Woodstock Road residents and the safety for school children going to school.
The Chair noted the impact of the Botley Rd closure on this scheme as it had delayed the introduction of the traffic filters scheme. The Chair asked for monitoring to be undertaken after the Botley Rd opened, which was expected to be in August 2026.
The Chair noted that not approving the scheme would undermine other transport schemes in other areas in Oxford.
The Chair asked officers to monitor traffic on the Woodstock Road after the Botley Road reopened; monitor traffic out of First Turn that could perhaps lead to new signage; and also monitoring air quality and cycle routes after the reopening of the Botley Road.
The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
RESOLVED to:
a) Approve the making permanent of the following measures as part of the current Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO);

Report by Director of Environment and Highways (CMDTM).
The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:
a) Approve the Eynsham Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).
Minutes: The Chair introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their contributions and responded to their points in turn.
The Chair echoed public speakers in their thanks to officers for creating the LCWIP in Eynsham.
The Chair noted that the delivery of these individual schemes was dependent on resources and funding.
Officers confirmed the County Council’s LCWIP programme followed standard criteria which were managed so schemes could be compared objectively.
The Chair noted that A & B roads speed limits were undergoing review and that policies overlapped, so reduction in speed limits on the B4044 would be considered through the Vision Zero review.
The Chair confirmed that the LCWIP was a live document, which would be kept under review. Officers noted that the purpose of LCWIP’s was to capture the aspirations of the community and the Bablock Hythe bridge was captured as such.
The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
RESOLVED to:
a) Approve the Eynsham Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).

Officers commented that the visibility of exemptions was important and the scheme was intended to make the space safe for all users.
The Chair noted that this was a specific intervention, rather than wider changes to the ETRO.
Officers stated that programmes in the market were planned with the Resilience teams to educate users.

East Oxford CPZ Review 2025 Cabinet Member: Transport Management Forward Plan Ref: 2025/205 Contact: Vicki Neville, Senior Officer – TRO’s and Schemes (Vicki.Neville@oxfordshire.gov.uk)
Report by Director of Environment and Highways (CMDTM).
The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:
(a) Approve the proposed new Cycle parking bay and amendment of existing Permit Holders parking bay to Shared-use parking (Permit holders & non-permit holders in Bath Street, as advertised.
(b) Approve the proposed new Permit Holder parking bay and amendment of existing Permit Holders parking bay to Shared-use parking (Permit holders & non-permit holders) in Cave Street, as advertised.
(c) Approve the proposed parking bay and yellow line changes in Jeune Street, as advertised.
(d) Approve the proposed extension of existing Short-stay parking bays in Leon Close, as advertised.
(e) Approve the proposed extension of the existing Shared-use parking bay near No.39, and the proposed new Shared-use parking bay near No.30 in Nye Bevan Close, as advertised.
(f) Approve the proposed new Cycle parking bay in York Place, as advertised.
(h) Defer a decision on the proposed new Cycle Parking Bay in Boulter Street.
(i) Not approve/withdraw the proposed extension of an existing short stay parking bay in Caroline Street.
(j) Not approve/withdraw the proposed new Shared-use parking bay outside Nos.1-4 Nye Bevan Close.
(k) Not approve/withdraw the proposed new Shared-use parking bay in York Place.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Chair introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their contributions and responded to their points in turn.
The Chair noted concerns that the proposals were not compliant with County Council transport policies or the Oxford City Local Plan and stated that these proposals centred on the demand for increased permits within CPZ’s.
Officers noted the justification within the Central Oxfordshire Travel Plan was to review the eligibility and parking permits per property in CPZ’s and that in East Oxford, spaces had been lost to the LTN’s; which these proposals sought to restore. It was made clear that the hierarchy within the Local Transport and Connectivity Plan needed to be adhered to and that the design of streets needed to cater for pedestrians and cyclists first and foremost.
The Chair noted that the proposals to create additional permit holder bays would increase the number of cars on the roads, which would impact cyclists and pedestrians. Officers noted that less space for permit holder bays could potentially lead to unsafe car parking, which would also be to the detriment of safe walking and cycling.
The Chair stated that it was not for the Council to mitigate illegal parking through policies, as CPZ’s entitled residents to a number of permits but not the guarantee of a parking space. Officers confirmed, over the last 4 years as part of LTCP initiatives, a reduction of 56 spaces within the East Oxford CPZ, with an additional 9 spaces proposed with these amendments.
The Chair noted the safety concerns raised in the report, but that Thames Valley Police did not mention that in their consultation response. Officers noted the safety elements of the report came about as a result of guidance and reports by West Midlands Combined Authority, commissioned by the Department for Transport, as well as cross-governmental Home Office directives.
Officers noted that the East Oxford and Headington Central CPZ reviews were slightly behind the curve in terms of alignment with other schemes. Future reviews into CPZ’s were more closely aligned.
The Chair appreciated the discussion but felt he agreed with the point made by several speakers that the proposed increase in car parking would lead to an increase in volume of car traffic, which would be contrary to the Council’s policies.
The Chair noted that some of the proposals to increase cycle parking were welcome, but asked officers to re-think some of the proposals to increase parking along with other schemes.
The Chair stated that he was minded to approve recommendations: a; c; f; g; h; i; j and k, defer recommendation b and reject recommendations d and e.
The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the following decisions.
RESOLVED to:
Agree the following recommendations:
a) Approve the proposed new Cycle parking bay and amendment of existing Permit Holders parking bay to Shared-use parking (Permit holders & non-permit holders in Bath Street, as advertised.
(c) Approve the proposed parking bay and yellow line changes in ... view the full minutes text for item 124/26 |

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

The Chair thanked the local County Councillor for her detailed comments, which provided useful community insight.
Officers confirmed that the proposal for Kennett Road was as a result of detailed feedback from residents living in the road.

Additional documents:
Minutes: The Chair introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their contributions and responded to their points in turn.
Officers confirmed that concerns were raised through the formal consultation about vehicles parking down the Radley Road, leading to delays for bus services. Vehicles parking on the Radley Road presented risks to pedestrians and cyclists.
The justification for the inclusion of Saturday in the restrictions was because there was no material difference on other days of the week and Saturday. Officers commented that the original request for action came from the bus companies.
The Chair noted that all schemes were kept under review and asked officers to carefully monitor the changes.
The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
