NOTICE is given that Oxfordshire County Council proposes to make the above order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and all other enabling powers.

The effect of the order is to make changes to some existing parking restrictions in accordance with parking policy, for road safety reasons to protect visibility and turning at junctions, to ease congestion caused to bus services and to enable short-stay parking in certain areas to assist with local parking needs. Proposed amendments to parking restrictions in Faringdon as follows:

A. New ‘No Loading at Any Time’ (double kerb ‘blips’) restrictions as follows:

1. ‘Triangle’ junction Gloucester Street/Marlborough Street – all of the section outside the Corn Exchange on the western side of the junction and all the sides of the triangle.

2. Gloucester Street (north side) – from a point in line with the western side of the triangle junction eastwards for 17 metres.

3. Marlborough Street (southeast side) – from a point in line with the south-western boundary of No.1 Marlborough Street, north-eastwards for 20m.

B. Existing ‘unrestricted’ Loading-bay on Gloucester Street (south side) adjacent to the Corn Exchange to be amended to ‘30mins waiting Monday to Saturday 8am-6pm. No return 1 hour’

C. New ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Lines) restrictions as follows:

1. ‘Triangle’ junction Gloucester Street/Marlborough Street – all the sides of the triangle.

2. Coxwell Street (southeast side) – upgrade the existing Single Yellow Line (‘No waiting Mon–Sat 8am-6pm’) to Double Yellow Lines, and this upgraded restriction to be extended to the junction with Coxwell Gardens.

3. Marlborough Street:

   a. southeast side – outside the Old Post Office – upgrade the existing Single Yellow Line (‘No waiting Mon-Sat 8am-6pm’) to double yellow lines.

   b. north-west side – upgrade the existing Single Yellow Line (‘No waiting Mon-Sat 8am-6pm’) to Double Yellow Lines from Nos.4 to 10.

4. Radcot Road (A4095) – extend the existing Double Yellow Lines northwards to the boundary of the 20mph speed limit.

D. Change existing ‘No Waiting 7am–6pm Tuesdays’ (single yellow line) restriction in Market Place to alter the times of the restriction to 7am–1pm for Tuesdays only.

(Note: Other changes to Single Yellow Lines are noted under section C above).

E. Existing ‘Time limited waiting’ to be amended as follows:

1. Marlborough Street (southeast side)

   a. introduce two new 2-hour time limited waiting ‘Mon to Sat 8am–6pm’ parking bays as follows:

   i. for 22m between No.1 & the existing DPPP (disabled parking) adjacent to No.7, replacing the existing ‘No Waiting Mon–Sat 8am–6pm’ restriction, and

   ii. for 16m between the existing DPPP adjacent to No.7 & No.11, replacing the existing ‘1-hour Limited waiting Mon-Sat 8am–6pm’.

   b. remove the existing ‘1-hour Limited waiting Mon-Sat 8am–6pm’ parking provision between Nos.11 & 23, leaving this stretch unrestricted.

2. Market Place – the three existing time limited bays will be amended to allow for ‘2-hours parking with no return in 2-hours’ during their respective restricted periods.
