 York Road, both sides; between the exit point of the Multistorey car park up to the junction with Welford Road.

 3. To revoke certain existing Prohibitions and Restriction.

A COPY of the proposed Order, the relevant plan, the Council’s statement of reasons for proposing to make the Order and extract copies of the Order being amended may be seen at Leicester City Council’s website: leicester.gov. uk/trafficregulationorders

OBJECTIONS to the proposed Order should be email TROteam@leicester.gov.uk and marked for the attention of York Road. Any objections stating grounds on which they are made and quoting ref. No. (York Road - Amendment) must be received by the 5 day of August 2024.

The proposed introduction of a secondary disabled bay will provide additional facilities for users of the nearby temple, along with local businesses. The proposed extension of the RPZ will reduce sign clutter in this area, whilst maintaining the consistency of the parking restrictions on this road. 

There would be no longer the requirement to paint road markings (double yellow lines and kerb bars) thus reducing the cost of maintenance.
