Bicester - proposed parking restrictions

Following informal consultations carried out with Bicester Town Council, new ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ parking restrictions in the form of double yellow lines are being proposed in various roads within Bicester. The proposals will help maintain road safety in busy residential roads, by preventing vehicles from parking too close to junctions, improving visibility & making it easier for pedestrians to cross, and preventing highway obstructions.

Additionally, two new bus stop clearways are proposed for Bucknell Road and Shakespeare Drive – which will be accompanied by associated ‘No Stopping except local buses’ restrictions, helping to keep these spaces clear for their intended use.

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 12th September 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 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 2025. 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).
