Godstow Road Car Parking Update

As outlined in the latest Journal, Freemen of Oxford will be exempt from parking charges at Godstow Road car park.

Since the journal went to print, and following a slight delay, it has been confirmed that parking charges will commence from the 11th November 2024.

You can apply for exemption to carparks@oxford.gov.uk with details of your car registration, car make and your name and address. The exemption will last a year but they will renew it and you won't need to display anything. The Council will seek to verify you are a Freemen via the committee before confirming the exemption. Please wait for acknowledgement before parking!
