LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL THE LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL (YORK ROAD, LEICESTER) (RESTRICTED PARKING ZONE EXTENTION, DISABLED BAY) (2006 CONSOLIDTION AMENDMENT) (No. 369) TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER 2024

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN Leicester City Council (“the Council”) HAS MADE an Order under Sections 1(1), 2(1) to (3), 4(2), 5, 32, 35 and Part IV of Schedule 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (“the Act”), and of all other enabling powers, and after consultation with the Chief Officer of Police in accordance with Part III of Schedule 9 to the Act, hereby made the following Order.

The effects of the Order are set out in Schedule to this Notice.

 Schedule
1. To introduce a second disabled bay with a maximum stay of 3 hours and a No return within 3 hours, the bay will be operational at all times on all days on the following length of road: - 
- York Road, North side; 21 metres east of Oxford St in an easterly direction for 12 metres.

2. To amend the existing Restricted Parking Zone (Except in signed bays) which prohibits both waiting and loading at all time on all days, by extending the zone to include the following section of road: -
- York Road, both sides; between the exit point of the Multi storey car park up to the junction with Welford Road.

3. To revoke certain existing Prohibitions and Restrictions.

A COPY of the Order, the relevant plan, the Council’s statement of reasons for making the Order and extract copies of the Order being amended may be seen during normal opening hours at Leicester City Council, Customer Service Centre, 91 Granby Street, Leicester, LE1 6FB.

If you wish to question the validity of the Order (which was made on 18 of September 2024) or of any provisions contained in it on the grounds that it is not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or on the grounds that any requirement of that Act, or of any instrument made under it has not been complied with in relation to the Order, you may, within six weeks from the 18 of September 2024 apply to the High Court for this purpose.

THIS ORDER WILL COME INTO FORCE ON MONDAY 23 DAY OF SEPTEMBER 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.

THIS NOTICE IS DATED THIS 20 DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2024
