Shrivenham: Village Centre - proposed parking amendments

Following the introduction of a parking scheme for central Shrivenham in February 2025 (see here for details), Officers have since worked with the Parish Council and local County Councillor to bring forward a package of remedial measures. These proposals take into account the feedback received to the original scheme, and have been developed following Officer assessments which include the introduction of ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Lines) restrictions at a number of locations including Martens Road, Highworth Road, Fairthorne Way and Manor Lane to ensure safe access and road safety for all road users is maintained.

It is also proposed that an existing disabled parking place on High Street is relocated to Church Walk to allocate provision where is most needed. Finaly, a new motorcycle parking area is being promoted near to the pedestrian crossing on High Street. This aims to utilise the space and alongside bollards on the crossing, and help discourage other motor vehicles from parking inappropriately on the footways.

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 08 May 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). The Forward Plan of decisions meetings can be viewed here.
