Bus Shelters

We are responsible for the majority of bus shelters in Oxford, a large proportion of which are provided and maintained by our partners CCUK.



Local parish councils and Oxfordshire County Council are also responsible for a small number of shelters across the city.

Street Lighting

Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for street lighting in the city. Visit the Street Lighting pages of their website for more information and to report a fault.

Lifebelts

Report a missing or damaged lifebelt online

We provide and maintain lifebelts next to rivers and waterways in Oxford. Some lifebelts are owned by the Environment Agency and others by boatyards. 

Oxford City Council has 100 lifebelt stations along the River Thames and other public waterside locations, which are labelled with an identifying number and phone number. Lifebelts are inspected once every 2 weeks in the summer and once every 4 weeks in the winter.

We work hard to ensure that should you ever need to use one, a lifebelt is available and in the best condition.

Road signs are not maintained by us and should be reported on the Oxfordshire County Council website.
