Consultation process
The Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) for this scheme was brought into operation on 24 May 2021. A plan of the scheme is included at Appendix 1.
The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 provides that formal consultation is not required prior to the enactment of an ETRO. However, any person may, within the first six months of operation of the ETRO, object to the making of an Order for the purpose of indefinite continuation of the traffic order.
During the six-month period commencing at the introduction of the ETRO, 232 comments were made. The comments have been categorised as 60 objections to the scheme, 151 in support, 11 which have been classified as general observations or queries with no preference indicated and 10 repeats from individuals and therefore not included. A schedule of comments, together with officer responses is included at Appendix 2.
