Have your say on parking in the district

SOUTH Oxfordshire District Council is to carry out a public consultation later this year on potential changes to parking in the district. 

The council will ask people to comment on a number of options which will form its new parking order and determine how it operates its car parks across the district.

Options that people will be able to have their say on include:

• Standardising the charging hours across the district so that all areas are treated equally;
• Introducing Sunday parking fees to help ensure spaces are available for people wishing to visit local shops and cafes;
• A full review of how permits work to ensure they are allocated appropriately, depending on the size and location of the car park;
• Offering discounted permits for users of electric vehicles;
• Introducing limited waiting to address parking issues in the Chinnor.

People’s comments will be considered as part of a formal consultation process with statutory organisations such as the highways authority, police, town and parish councils.  The council will look at all comments before finalising and introducing the new arrangements in 2021.
