Proposed Parking Restrictions - Parish Council Response
Posted 19 weeks ago (06/03) by Theresa Goss
Following the County Council's consultation regarding proposing parking restrictions around the area of The Green and High Street, please see below, the Parish Council's response.
Since residents of Adderbury highlighted to the Parish Council around 18 months to 2 years ago, their concerns regarding parking issues around The Green (incorrectly labelled Lake Walk on the plans) and High Street, the opinions of residents have changed.
There continues to be some issues with commuters parking their vehicles around the area of The Green and High Street. However, the representatives from five local businesses who attended the Parish Council meeting on 25 February 2025, highlighted the unintended consequences on their employees and customers who will not be able to park near to their businesses if the time limit is two hours. It was also suggested that should the proposals go ahead, the parking issues will be pushed into other areas of the village.
A number of residents also attended the Parish Council meeting and were concerned about how and where they would park (as many live in terraced cottages with no parking), along with visitors to their homes.
On safety grounds, there was some support for the two sets of double yellow lines on either side of the junction of Croft Lane/High Street, but not the third set on High Street and not those on the two corners of The Green (incorrectly labelled Lake Walk on the plans). Residents felt that the two sets of lining around The Green are unnecessary and urbanised The Green too much.
Therefore, these two yellow lining proposals on both sides of the junction of Croft Lane/High Street are the only proposals which the Parish Council is able to support, given how opinions have changed on the parking situation since the original complaints were received.
For the reasons outlined above, the Parish Council does not support any of the proposals for parking bays and requests that OCC does not progress these any further.
