Purpose

Following investigations at the above-mentioned location it was found that during peak school drop off/pick up times there are vehicles parked/waiting on the advisory 'School Keep Clear' markings. The introduction of a formal Traffic Regulation Order will discourage parking/waiting on the 'School Keep Clear' markings and enable civil parking enforcement officers to issue Penalty Charge Notices where appropriate. Additional investigations found that there is an increased need for further restrictions to improve visibility in the surrounding area and on the junctions, the proposals will remove any parked vehicles, especially at peak times.

The proposals will facilitate traffic flow, ensure all accesses are kept clear and improve visibility and road safety for all users. Therefore, it is proposed to prohibit waiting as set out on the plans to the Order.
