NOTICE is hereby given that the City Council of Bristol in pursuance of the provisions of section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended have made an Order the effect of which is:

1. to close, temporarily, to vehicles the lengths of roads as specified in the Schedule to this Notice; and
