If you live on or near Wantage Road, you’re in the 07R parking permit zone - but figuring out exactly where you're allowed to park isn’t always straightforward.

🕒 What the parking sign really means

We’ll be honest - the sign’s wording confuses a lot of people (residents and visitors alike). Here’s a simple breakdown of what it actually means:

• 8am–8pm:
  Visitors can park for up to 2 hours (but can’t return within 2 hours).
  Residents with a 07R permit can park all day.
• 8pm–8am:
  Only 07R permit holders can park - no visitor parking overnight.
