The orders will also address anomalies between the provisions of the traffic order and on-site road markings/signs relating to; restriction of waiting, pay and display parking place and Car Club parking place provisions in Colston Street, pay and display parking place provision in Perry Road, and restriction of loading/unloading provisions in Park Row and Upper Maudlin Street.

All other existing provisions in the Central and Outer Zones will be brought forward unamended.

The purpose of the above measures are also, in part, to facilitate the moving of formal provision for the waiting of hackney carriages at any time outside Bristol Royal Infirmary in Upper Maudlin Street, north west side, in a north easterly direction for 17 metres.

To that end the Council further gives notice that it has appointed the locations being added and has revoked the location being removed as stands for hackney carriages pursuant to its powers under Section 63 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 as amended.

Note: in order to support the introduction of moving traffic restrictions in the Old City Area located within the Central Zone and which came into force in March 2023 after originally being introduced as a temporary response to the Covid 19 pandemic, complementary controlled parking zone arrangements are needed on-site to facilitate the on-site operation of the new movement restrictions. Consequently the controlled zone arrangements in those Central Zone Old City Area roads are currently being regulated where necessary and appropriate by virtue of suspension powers, and will remain so until such time as any suspended arrangements are duly revised by further traffic order procedure.

The orders will come into operation on 23rd November 2024 and copies thereof, together with plans, copies of the orders being revoked and a Statement of the Council’s Reasons for making the orders may be inspected at the Citizen Service Point, 100 Temple Street, Bristol, BS1 6AG, between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. on Monday to Friday.

Any person who desires to question the validity of, or of any provision contained in the orders on the grounds that it is not within the relevant powers of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended, or on the grounds that any of the relevant requirements of that Act has not been complied with in relation to the order, may within six weeks after the date on which the order was made, apply to the High Court for this purpose.
