OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL (VARIOUS ROADS – VALE OF
WHITE HORSE DISTRICT EXCLUDING THE PARISH OF NORTH

WAITING AND PERMITTED PARKING) (VARIATION NO.5) ORDER 20*
STATEMENT OF REASONS

Oxfordshire County Council is proposing to make amendments to the Map
based order covering Faringdon in the Vale of White Horse district.
In order to help facilitate the Saturday Market that occurs every week in
Market Place, it is proposed to extend the existing time limited waiting to also
be in effect on Saturdays, with nearby corresponding limited waiting
restrictions being amended to exclude Saturdays. The existing restrictions
currently help manage traffic when the market occurs on a Tuesday, allowing
the existing parking bays to be utilised by traders.
The County Council continues its responsibility to consider the provision of
convenient and 1 safe movement of motor vehicles and other traffic, and the
proposed measures are aimed at ensuring that danger is minimised whilst
2 facilitating the effective and safe passage of traffic.
