Decision details

To make and seal the Traffic Order and implement the restrictions which are outlined in Appendix 1.

The Council regularly receives requests for changes to the regulation of the public highway that require a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to implement.   The Council describes these requests as Community TROs.  These requests are assessed and those that are considered to sufficiently assist in the improved management of the public highway are taken forward through the statutory process for a TRO, that includes carrying out a public consultation to help inform a final decision as to whether to make the TRO or not.

This report covers a series of new Community Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) that have been proposed throughout the BCP Council area.

This report considers the representations received following the advertisement of the Traffic Order and to approve the making and sealing of the Order which has been amended from that advertised to take account of the representations received during the consultation period.

This will enable the implementation of new parking and waiting restrictions which have been designed to improve road safety, to ensure essential services can take place, such as access for waste and emergency services and to improve the parking facilities available to the local community.

No material negative impacts have been identified in relation to the restrictions to be implemented including to matters such as access to premises, amenities and use of the road by public service vehicles.

It is considered that the Traffic Order will help secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic (including pedestrians) and the provision of suitable and adequate parking facilities on the highway.
