Oxford: Great Clarendon Street - proposed 'Car Club' parking provision

Following on from a previous consultation carried out in May 2024 on the proposal to extend the existing 'Pay & Display' parking restriction on the northern side of Great Clarendon Street adjacent to the ‘Play Area’ (details here) - at the Delegated Decisions meeting by the Cabinet Member for Transport Management on 27 February 2025, it was decided to defer a decision based on the fact that since the report had been drafted a car club in Oxford had shown interest in re-utilising the bay, which was also supported by the local County Councillor.

We are now therefore asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a new ‘Car Club’ permit parking bay on the northwest side of Great Clarendon Street, adjacent to the ‘Play Area’, with space for approx. two vehicles from the existing ‘Pay & Display’ parking bay towards the junction with Hart Street.

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 13 June 2025.

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 early 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).
