Adrian Bullock, the Chair of the Witney and District Chamber of Commerce had submitted a public statement. As he was unable to attend the meeting, the statement was read out by the Senior Democratic Services Officer. The statement was;
“Since March we have called for anonymised ANPR cameras in all three of the town's main car parks. The data published for the Woodford Way development was years old, incomplete, and gave no reliable picture of how Woodford Way or Marriotts car parks are actually used. The project team and several councillors supported our call at the time. ANPR records entry and exit times anonymously. It tells us exactly how long people stay, and how full each car park is, by day and hour. No guesswork. That data matters well beyond Woodford Way. Combined with footfall monitoring, it shows who uses the town centre, when, and how – exactly what we need to plan parking provision and to target our "Welcome to Witney" marketing. It also answers the key capacity question: is our mix of short, medium and long-stay spaces right? Without ANPR, every parking decision is guesswork. Guesswork costs the town - and thus the council - money. We fully support the motion for ANPR assessment of Woodford Way and Witan Way car park usage.”
