Walsall - Remembrance Sunday Parade Road Traffic Restrictions

Notice is hereby given that due to a special event being held Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council intends to make the above-mentioned Temporary Order for the purposes of holding a special event (temporary closure of roads for Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service in Walsall town centre). The effect of the Order is to impose the following temporary restrictions: - 

I. Prohibit all vehicles from entering, proceeding, stopping or waiting along the lengths of roads specified in Schedule 1 (including the junctions linking such roads and all adjacent side roads at their junctions with the roads specified) except such vehicles being used in relation to the Remembrance Sunday parade and service together with the emergency services, police, fire brigade, ambulance purposes, and for organisations responsible for dealing with the loss of supplies of gas, electricity, water or electronic communications to premises in the area and for the removal of any obstruction in the traffic, which necessitates the bringing of vehicles into a section of the roads.

II.  The relevant sections of any existing Orders relating to the said lengths of roads are hereby suspended (including the one-way Traffic Regulation Orders on Lichfield Street, Lower Bridge Street, The Bridge, Bradford Street and Bradford Place) for the period of this temporary Order insofar as they affect the said lengths of road and for the avoidance of doubt this Order shall prevail for the duration of this Order. 

III. The Order will come into effect on Sunday 12 November 2023 and will remain in force for a maximum of three days only.
