Oxford: Various locations - proposed 'Urgent Community Responder' ANPR camera exemption

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce an exemption for Urgent Community Responders* (UCR) - allowing them to travel unrestricted, whilst carrying out their statutory duties - to the following restriction sites currently enforced by ANPR camera:

* Urgent Community Responders (UCR) cover appropriately qualified persons employed by an NHS Trust whose duties include the provision of Urgent Community Response services to the public as defined in the NHS Long Term Plan. UCR is a mandated service from NHS England and has been designed for adult patients (18+) facing a sudden health or social care crisis requiring urgent treatment at home within two hours. Without this service, an ambulance would need to attend. This includes new or worsening medical conditions, serious illnesses or injury which can be treated successfully at home with an urgent response. The service focuses on delivering timely and safe care in the community.

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 18 April 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 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). The Forward Plan of decisions meetings can be viewed here.
