New civil parking enforcement from 1 November

Motorists beware.

Oxfordshire County Council is, from 1 November, bringing in special enforcement areas in partnership with Cherwell, South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils. Parking offences in these areas are typically enforced by the police but will become the responsibility of Oxfordshire County Council.

Parking violations will become civil offences; enforcement will apply for on-street parking (roads and highways).

There is already civil parking enforcement in Oxford City and West Oxfordshire; the new rules will apply to the rest of the county.

Below are an FAQ and a glovebox guide to the new rules.
