CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL PROPOSES TO INTRODUCE A NO ENTRY ON WOBURN ROAD, MARSTON MORETEYNE

Reason for proposal: The proposed Order is considered necessary avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road and for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising. The restriction is already in place, however it has recently come to light that the original Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is missing. We are therefore undertaking this retrospective consultation to meet statutory requirements and formally implement a new TRO.

Effect of the Order

To prohibit entry on the following road in Marston Moreteyne:1.  Woburn Road, at the junction with Woburn Road and Marston Bypass. Details may also be viewed online at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/publicstatutorynotices
