Following requests by residents, trial changes have been made to parking restrictions in Ellice Road car park, Oxted. From 7 July for a trial period, all restrictions will be lifted at 5pm. This means motorists parking after 1pm can leave their car for the rest of the day and evening, as long as it has been moved by 7am the next day. This will benefit residents who want to use the car park, for example when they occasionally travel to London by train for doctors’ and other appointments or to visit the theatre.
This is good news and will hopefully strike a balance between spaces being available for shoppers and for local residents who need to travel up to town.
