Gillotts Lane provides access to Gillotts School and Henley Leisure Centre, from Greys Road, so there are many hundred traffic movements per day. On-street parking reduces the road to single track which can cause gid lock, particularly at the end of school. Yesterday, about 6pm, a large coach returning from a school trip was unable to reach the school due to on-street parking. Please can you consider some parking restrictions on this section of road?

Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.

The installation of formal waiting restrictions (yellow lines) requires the implementation of a traffic regulation order which involves a long and expensive legal process, including full consultation. I regret that Oxfordshire County Council cannot fund such a scheme at this time. Vehicles parking in such a way to cause an obstruction are committing an offence under s.22 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and can therefore be reported to Thames Valley Police.

State changed to: No further action
