The Council, by virtue of the
Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 can introduce orders to manage
traffic. Where Traffic Regulation Orders are required, they should
not give rise to any particular legal implications provided the
works and procedures are carried out in accordance with the
relevant statutory requirements, which would include the
consideration of any objections to a proposed TRO.
