Abingdon: B4017 Bath Street - proposed permit parking restrictions

We're asking for your views on the proposal to convert some of the shared-use parking provision (approx.7-8 vehicle lengths) on the B4017 Bath Street to ‘Permit Holders Only’ parking during the operational hours of Monday to Saturday, 8am-6pm (outside of these hours, parking will be unrestricted).

The proposals - which have been put forward following a review after complaints from residents about the lack of available parking for permit holders - seek to help protect the parking amenity that runs through the area, and to help provide equitable provision of permit holder parking for residents in the immediate vicinity.

Have your say.

Please read the detailed information provided on this consultation and take the time to complete the survey as your views and opinions matter. Your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 03 July 2026.

Whilst we will endeavor to answer simple queries during the course of the consultation, any more complex questions/issues will be appraised and dealt with as part of consultation process.

What happens next?

The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for later in 2026. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports for meetings will be made available on the Oxfordshire County Council web site about a week before the meeting (please note that occasionally it is necessary to defer reports to a later meeting, and it is therefore advisable to check the agenda ahead of attending a meeting).
