All other restrictions and exemptions contained in the aforementioned Order and Amendments to that Order shall remain in force.
The Order will come into effect on 21st June 2024 and may continue in force for up to 18 months, unless extended by the Secretary of State.
The restrictions are needed to prevent vehicles from parking on North Hill, near to Paper Mill Lock, which causes an obstruction to the highway, conflict between vehicles and hinders sight lines, on what is a rural road with no footways and has 30mph, 40mph and national speed limits. The restriction will also prevent pedestrians coming into conflict with vehicles when alighting, or returning, to a parked vehicle often with paddle boards and other items.
The restrictions will improve sight lines for all road users and better facilitate the passage of traffic using the road and is an urgent matter of road and public safety.
A copy of the Order, the plans of the restrictions, together with a copy of this Notice are available at Chelmsford City Council, Civic Centre, Duke Street, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 1JE where they may be inspected and examined during normal office hours, or online at: www.chelmsford.gov.uk/tros Alternatively documents can be posted or emailed on request.
