Car parking charges on the streets in the town centre will be going up on 1st April from 60p to 80p for an hour and £1.00 to £1.20 for two hours. This scheme is run by Oxfordshire County Council.
That does not compare well with the Vale of White Horse car parks where the first two hours are free. (Other charges have recently been increased.)
Lots of people pay to park in West St Helen Street when the West St Helen Street car park is only ten or twenty meters away, and is free for the same period.
Most of the Charter car park is currently closed for essential work. So most drivers have to use one of the other car parks. The urgent repair work began on March 3rd and is likely to be a number of months.
Most residents in the town centre, who are part of the residents parking scheme, have out of date permits because there has been no way to buy a new permit during the Covid-19 pandemic. But this has just changed and they can be ordered remotely. Residents need to get valid permit by 1st May to use permit holder bays.
loads park on single/double yellows east st helen st, west st helen st, st helen court, lombard st, bath st and nothing happens, realise this is police responsibility not council, perhaps the councils should get a traffic warden to deal with this
Double yellow line parking is not police responsibility it’s council
But that might be percieved as persecution of poor innocent car drivers who only want to go and park where they please which is surely a human right anyway and don’t we pay enuff for just owning a car and wotabout those cyclists why dont they have to pay and they run redlights and everything and wotabout lorries and busses and squirrels.
Wow. Ever heard of one of these…it’s call a full stop. Generally a capital letter comes next!
for clarity whilst la own responsibility for the yellow lines, as there are no town traffic wardens(other than car parks parking bays,in abingdon) the responsibility then falls with the police
