Oxford: George Street - Loading bay waiting restrictions

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce waiting restrictions within the loading bays on the south side of George Street applying between 10am and 6pm on all days, with no change proposed to the time of operation of the loading bays (30-minute loading permitted between 6pm and 10am on all days).

The proposals will enable effective enforcement of vehicles currently using the loading bays for general parking at the time the proposed waiting restriction will apply, they will also reduce daytime obstruction to buses and other essential vehicles and improve safety and visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

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 16 June 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. 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).
