Bicester: Bardwell Terrace & Bucknell Road - proposed parking restrictions

We're asking for your views on the proposals to introduce new ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Line) parking prohibitions around the Graham Road & Bucknell Road junction in Bicester. The proposals have been put forward as result of concerns raised regarding visibility from traffic exiting/entering the junction, and will help ensure it is kept clear of obstructive vehicles - assisting the more vulnerable road-users to cross the carriageway safely.

Additionally, in Bardwell Terrace, the existing ‘No Waiting Mon-Sat 8am-6pm’ (Single Yellow Line) parking restrictions adjacent to Nos.2-22 will be replaced with new ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Line) restrictions, which will help ensure that the relatively narrow carriageway is kept clear at all times, assisting traffic to travel freely & safely.

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 30 October 2026.

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 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).
