On 31 October 2023 the Executive Director of Place acting under Delegated Authority considered the objections and comments received in response to the advertisement of the above proposed traffic order. After carefully considering these objections together with the comments the following decision was taken:

1. Both the local members and officers see value in making the traffic regulation orders outlined below permanent. It is therefore recommended that the THORNBURY - VARIOUS ROADS - Variation to Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting order, Prohibition of Driving order and Designated Disabled Persons’ Parking Place order - STATUTORY NOTICE be made permanent with the exception of Soapers Lane being included within the restricted parking zone.
2. That the Head of Legal Governance and Democratic Services be authorised to seal the Traffic Regulation Order.
3. That the objectors are informed accordingly.

The Executive Director of Place Decision relating to this matter may be viewed on the documents pages of this consultation.

The order is to be made on 15 November 2023 and will become operative on 23 November 2023.  Accordingly, a public notice will appear in the local newspaper shortly after the order is made.
