Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

Soluble yellow line are needed the length of water Eaton lane because vehicles park both sides and block access for farm vehicles and emergency vehicles. The parish council paid for this work and it was never completed.

  • Many residents objected to the yellow lines proposals and this report is factually incorrect. Vehicles only park on one side and in low numbers; a county council engineer came and measured the street and confirmed that in the Northern section there is sufficient width for any vehicle to pass parked vehicles. He proposed double yellow lines on the Eastern side and on both sides in the narrower section and around the entrance to Beagles Close; and white lines outside driveway entrances on the West side of the wider section. There's been no consultation since.
