Oxford: Various locations - proposed parking restrictions (2026)

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce new ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ parking restrictions (in the form of double yellow lines) in various roads within Oxford (see notice & plans for specific locations), whilst some single yellow lines will apply from 8am to 6:30pm on Mondays and Fridays. The proposals are being put forward following various complaints from members of the public, City and County Councillors, local schools, and site observations by Officers.

The proposals will help prevent obstructive parking in general, parked vehicles obscuring visibility, and instances of footway parking, and in Sandford Road (Littlemore) & Oxford Road (Old Marston), the new controls are intended deter dangerous parking at school drop-off and pick up times.

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 03 July 2026.

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 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).
