West Oxfordshire District Council approves affordable housing development on Witney's Woodford Way car park

West Oxfordshire District Council will proceed with building affordable homes on Witney's Woodford Way car park, despite over 2,000 objections. The plan will reduce public parking from about 250 spaces to 20, aiming to provide much-needed affordable housing for over 2,300 households on the waiting list. Critics fear increased parking pressure and reduced visitor numbers, while the council states Witney will retain over 1,600 town centre parking spaces and has capacity.
