Henley on Thames - proposed parking & loading restrictions

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce new & amend existing parking measures in Henley-on-Thames. The proposals are being put forward in accordance with OCC parking policy, and to help provide more residents parking, improve traffic movement & visibility, and support local amenities within the town.

Existing ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions (double yellow lines) will be amended & new sections introduced at various locations to help improve traffic movements and visibility at junctions, and access to local bus stops.

Limited waiting restrictions will be introduced on Hart Street to provide support to the local hotel, and on Market Place to provide extra parking spaces to assist with access to local amenities.

‘Resident Permit Holders Only’ parking will be introduced on Friday Street in place of sections of existing limited waiting & double yellow lines in order to provide additional parking capacity for local residents.

The existing general 10minute loading bays on Bell Street will be converted to Goods Vehicle Loading only bays, which aim to improve loading access to adjacent business amenities.

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 15 December 2023.

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 2023/early in 2024. 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).
