Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 06:01 · Archive

Oxfordshire County Council has proposed new parking restrictions and road closures across Cherwell including Banbury, Burdrop and other villages.

Oxfordshire County Council has proposed new parking restrictions and several road closures across Cherwell, covering Banbury, Burdrop, Sibford Gower, South Newington, Great Tew and Milcombe.

In Banbury, new double yellow lines are proposed on both sides of Overthorpe Road, from its junction with Ermont Way and Dorcas Road westwards to the traffic calming feature at the junction with access to St Leonards Church of England Primary School. The council says the restrictions are for road safety. Existing single yellow line restrictions on Thorpe Way, Thorpe Close, Thorpe Drive and Thorpe Lane in the industrial estate will be formalised for administrative purposes. These currently operate from Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6pm.

Oxfordshire County Council's 2021 map-based order covering various roads in Cherwell will also be amended. The 1992 Thorpe Way Area prohibition of waiting order will be revoked. Documents about the proposals are available on the council's Let's Talk website, with paper copies available on request.

Objections and other representations must be submitted in writing by 30 October 2026, stating the grounds on which they are made.
