Banbury: Broughton Road area - parking restrictions informal consultation

In November 2021, the County Council took over parking enforcement from the police, which meant that all parking contraventions became a civil offence, dealt with by the issue of penalty charge notices (PCNs).

The change to enforcement, has opened up opportunities for new restrictions and controlled parking zones (CPZ) to be introduced which give local people/ organisations priority for on street parking, making it more likely local people, their visitors and customers can find a space quickly and easily.

Following discussions with elected members, we are now planning to undertake a review of parking in the Broughton Road area which will assess whether new parking controls are required, including inviting feedback from the local community.

Have your say.

Please take the time to read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) here before completing the survey. As your views and opinions matter, your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 08th August 2025.

Whilst we will endeavour 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 feedback received during the course of the consultation will be used in conjunction with inventory survey data of existing parking restrictions to help develop parking improvement plans. Once the plans have been prepared, residents and businesses will be formally consulted before any final decisions on parking changes are made.
