Question 1

Do I need a permit to place a skip on the street in Bicester?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your skip will sit on a public road or pavement in Bicester, you'll need a permit from Cherwell District Council. The council issues Highways Permits, which typically cost around £25-£35. Apply online or call the council. If the skip goes on your own drive or private property, no permit is needed.
