People who work at hospital parking on pavements and blocking risd

Reported via mobile in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 05:41, Sun 20 July 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7903827.

There has been a large increase in people parking their cars in garston lane. Partly due to residents only parking further down. Also many working g at the hospital. The parking is unsafe often on pavements, opposite junctions or on corners. Also quite often in the restricted parking sections. Much of the time I can only squeeze past in my average width car so they are blocking the road for larger vehicles. Please paint and enforce appropriate double yellow lines

Council ref: ENQ251053953

    It has become much worse recently and we really need yellow lines / residents parking along garston lane - not that any drivers will take any notice. It seems anything goes with the hospital visitors. There is free parking in town which is less than 5 minutes walk.
