Parking suspension signs have appeared along the route of the Abingdon Michaelmas Fair. This year, parking suspensions have also been extended to East St Helen Street and West St Helen Street, where residents have always been allowed to park during the fair in previous years since they are not on the fair route.
Vehicles parked in suspended areas may be removed, and owners charged a recovery fee. According to a letter to residents from Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council, residents can park in West St Helen Street Car Park from 8am to 10am and 4pm to 6pm, but not from 10am to 4pm without paying.
The fair will take place on 9 and 10 October 2023. The parking suspensions will be in place from 08.00 on Sunday, 8 October, until 9am on Wednesday, 11 October.
I think the fair is actually on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th with setting up on Sunday 8th and dismantling ending by early morning on Wednesday 11th.
Thanks. Corrected.
I wonder what has brought this change on.
The residents questioned whether the suspensions were an error and indeed they were.
Walked into town this morning and a man in uniform appeared to be removing the parking restriction signs, change of mind perhaps.
Yes. They have gone this morning. So, change of mind.

Is there a religious service on Sunday Evening?
Yes 7pm in the Market Place – advertised on facebook and presumably the Council noticeboards, but not on their website.
