Purpose

This report considers representations received
during the initial six-month statutory consultation on a trial of
shared bays in phase three of the dockless mobility programme given
effect by two Experimental Traffic Management Orders (ETMOs) and
seeks approval to make the measures permanent through the making of
permanent traffic management orders. This includes making permanent
191 shared dockless bays, as well as making permanent 31 extensions
of existing bays installed in earlier phases.
