Hillsborough Corner TRO

I've had the notification of the Experimental Traffic Order that amends the hours of operation of the bus and tram gates on Middlewood Rd from 0700 to 1900 daily to 0700-1100 and 1500-1900 on Monday to Saturday inclusive

As it is experimental it will be in force for six months and the City Council will be considering whether the provisions of the Experimental Order should be continued in force indefinitely.

The grounds for objection, should anyone wish to do so, are quite specific so I am copying them here:-

Any person who wishes to question the validity of the Order or any of its provisions on the grounds that it is not within the powers of the enabling Act or that a requirement of the enabling Act or any of the relevant regulations made thereunder has not been complied with may, within six weeks of the 29th day of October 2009, make application for that purpose to the High Court.

As you can see from that the grounds for objection are pretty stringent!

However I can see one potential grounds for objection, that this notice is dated "this 30th day of October" - i.e. tomorrow.

I think the hours that the bus gate will operate for cover a large part of the working day and it might not be as bad as we feared. There is an opportunity to make representations during the six month experimental period,


Also covered in this mailing:-

Lydgate Lane and Monteney Crescent

Basically traffic calming around Lydgate Infant & Middle School


Meadow Street Revised Permit Parking Scheme.

Will be happy to pass on plans to anyone who wants to have a look.
