1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Medway Council on 26 May 2026 made the above-mentioned order under sections 1, 2 and 4 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended.

2. The general effect of the order, which comes into operation on 1 June 2026 will be to introduce a new pedestrian and cycle zone in the vicinity of each of the schools listed in the schedule to this notice, operating at the times and comprising the streets or parts of streets listed in that Schedule.

3. All motor vehicles except permit holders would be prohibited from entering the pedestrian and cycle zones during their hours of operation. Virtual permits allowing vehicles to enter a pedestrian and cycle zone would be available to residents and those caring for residents, of premises located within or only accessible from the pedestrian and cycle zones, by application to the council. Local buses will be exempt from the restriction. Further exemptions would apply to vehicles of those dropping off or picking up students with special educational needs or who are disabled (the details of such vehicles being registered with the school) and to emergency service vehicles, school buses and certain other service vehicles and utility vehicles (in an emergency only) and also to school staff requiring access to parking facilities within school grounds. Any vehicle that is already within the pedestrian and cycle zone prior to its commencement of operation would be permitted to leave.

4. Persons wishing to question the validity of the order or any of its provisions on the grounds that it or they are not within the powers conferred by the 1984 Act, or that any requirement of the 1984 Act or any instrument made under that act has not been complied with, that person may, within six weeks from the date on which the order was made, apply for the purpose to the High Court.

5. Copies of the order and associated documents can be requested by sending an email to TROconsult@medway.gov.uk or by writing to Parking Design Team, Medway Council, Gun Wharf, Dock Road, Chatham, ME4 4TR before the end of a period of six weeks from the date on which the order was made.

6. All representations have been duly considered and included in a delegated report discussed by elected members. The scheme aims to fulfil its objectives of reducing traffic congestion and pollution at the school gates, improving road safety and making it safer for children to get to and from school actively. The scheme is required to promote active and sustainable transport by enabling a safer and calmer environment for the benefit of school visitors and residents.

7. The school street scheme originally included in this order for King’s School, Rochester, (St Margaret’s Street, Roebuck Road, King Edward Road, Lockington Grove), has been adjusted and promoted via a separate traffic regulation order.
