Shefford / Biggleswade / Langford - Various No Entry, No Waiting & Public Path Creation Orders

ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 - SECTION 14(1)

CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL PROPOSES TO INTRODUCE NO WAITING AT ANY TIME ON AMPTHILL ROAD, SHEFFORD

More specifically, the waiting restrictions are intended to address indiscriminate parking and to ensure that junctions are not obstructed by parked vehicles.

Effect of the Order:

To introduce No Waiting at any time on the following length of road in Shefford:-

1. Ampthill Road, north side, from a point approximately in line with the common property boundary of No.132 and No.130 Ampthill Road (where the current No Waiting at any time restrictions end), extending in a slightly north-easterly direction for approximately 38 metres.
