Making sure your vehicle is not a nuisance

• Dispose of any unwanted vehicles safely so that they are not left to become a fire or health hazard. Visit our Abandoned Vehicles page to report an abandoned vehicle and for further details details.
• Make sure your vehicle is taxed and parked properly only where you are allowed to park.
• Do not rev your engine unnecessarily.
• Do not block anyone else's vehicle or park in their space.
• Do not repair your vehicle in your garden, parking space, in the street or on the estate where you live.
• Make sure your car alarm works properly and that it does not go off accidentally.
• You must never park a motorbike, scooter or moped in the communal areas.

Dropped kerbs and hardstanding

A tenant must have the Landlords permission to have a hardstand in their garden.

A dropped kerb can not be done without a hardstand in the garden.

If permission is given then you need to apply to Oxfordshire County Council. For full details please visit the Oxfordshire County Council's Dropped Kerb page.
