Garsington: Pettiwell - proposed parking restrictions & speed limit amendment

We're asking for your views on the proposals to extend the existing ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow line) parking restrictions on both sides of Pettiwell in Garsington, north-eastwards for approx.205 additional metres. Officers have worked with the local County Councillor to bring forward the proposals, which are in response to concerns & complaints raised about continual obstructive parking in the area, and will help ensure road safety, and that access is effectively maintained.

To help facilitate the introduction of the proposed parking restrictions, the existing 20mph speed limit on Pettiwell will be extended south-westwards for an additional 25 metres. This will prohibit vehicles from parking on/near the 20mph roundel markings on the carriageway, and from the obscuring the speed limit terminal signs - which are already being masked by over-grown foliage.

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 09 January 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 early 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).
