21/08/2026 - Oxford trial traffic filters: addition of magistrates' permit and removal of driving test centre permit ref: 11664    Recommendations Approved

Ensures the permits offered for the trial traffic filters are appropriate and workable. 

 

New permit is in response to feedback from the court. The location of the court means a significant detour might be required for some magistrates who drive to court.  Unpaid magistrates can be challenging to recruit and retain, and the court has raised concerns about magistrates’ personal security when travelling to and from court.

 

The driving test centre permit added under a delegated decision in July 2026 has proved administratively unworkable for the test centre and in agreement with them the permit will no longer be offered.
