Parking restrictions in roads surrounding the Kassam Stadium could be overhauled if residents make their voices heard.

Oxfordshire County Council has sent questionnaires to 400 permit holders to find out what they think of the scheme to restrict parking when events take place at the city stadium.

Since 2007, people living in about 15 roads in Blackbird Leys and the majority of roads in Greater Leys have paid £10 a year for a permit which allows them to park outside their homes during matchdays and car boot sales.

The council’s questionnaires ask three questions — do you think the Sunday parking restrictions are a good idea?

Are there specific locations where the restrictions need to be altered?

And in what other ways could the residents parking scheme be made to work better for you?

Last night residents were split about whether the scheme needed adjusting.

David Troth, 47, of Deer Walk, Greater Leys, said not enough cars needed to park on car boot sale days to warrant keeping the scheme on some roads on Sundays.

He said: “They get two or three cars on Grenoble Road for the car boot sales and it just restricts all the people who live in the area from parking on the road.”

Andy Keep, 47, from Skylark Place, Blackbird Leys, agreed saying: “You get a few people parking round here, but it’s not really needed.”

Knights Road resident Iain Booker, who uses a wheelchair, said: “It’s only on match days and football days and without it we can’t park round here. Before it was put in there were 40 or 50 cars parked in the area.”

Trevor Lambert, chairman of Oxford United Supporters’ Trust Oxvox, said the existing scheme was working well, but called on the council to “think imaginatively” on how to create more spaces for fans during big matches – especially if the club became more successfull.

Leys and Lye county councillor Richard Stevens said: “What I do sense is that people close to the Kassam are in favour of the permit scheme being retained, and quite rightly, but in some parts of Greater Leys it’s not needed as much.”

County Hall spokesman Owen Morton said : “If the feedback we receive suggests a clear way forward, any proposed changes to the existing parking scheme would need to go out to formal consultation in the usual way.”
