CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL PROPOSES TO INTRODUCE NO STOPPING

ON SCHOOL ENTRANCE MARKINGS ON BIDEFORD GREEN, LEIGHTON BUZZARD Reason for proposal: The No Stopping on School Entrance markings are intended to address indiscriminate parking in the vicinity of Southcott Lower School to create a safer environment for those travelling to and from school. Please note that this is largely a retrospective consultation as the majority of the restriction here is already in place. It has recently come to light that the permanent Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is missing. We are therefore undertaking this retrospective consultation to meet statutory requirements and formally implement a new TRO. There is a slight extension of one set of School Keep Clear Markings, approximately 5 metres.

Effect of the Order:

To introduce No Stopping on School Entrance Markings between 8am and 4:30pm Monday - Friday on the following length of road in Leighton Buzzard:-

1. Bideford Green, south-east side, from a point approximately in line with the north-east flank wall belonging to No.509 Bideford Green and extending in a north-easterly direction for approximately 37.56 metres.

2. Bideford Green, south-east side, from a point approximately 37.56 metres northeast of a point in line with the north-east flank wall belonging to No.509 Bideford Green and extending in a generally northerly direction, following the curvature of the kerb for approximately 43.56 metres.

3. Bideford Green, east side, from a point approximately 81.12 metres northeast of a point in line with the north-east flank wall belonging to No.509 Bideford Green and extending in a generally northerly direction, before following the curvature of the kerb west for a total approximate distance of 43.56 metres.

4. Bideford Green, north-west side, from a point approximately 4 metres from a point in line with the north-east flank wall belonging to No.509 Bideford Green and extending in a north-easterly direction for approximately 37.56 metres.

5. B ideford Green, north-west side, from a point approximately 41.56 metres northeast of a point in line with the north-east flank wall belonging to No.509 Bideford Green and extending in a generally northerly direction, following the curvature of the kerb for approximately 43.56 metres.

6. Bideford Green, west side, from a point approximately 85.12 metres northeast of a

point in line with the north-east flank wall belonging to No.509 Bideford Green and extending in a generally northerly direction, before following the curvature of the kerb west for a total approximate distance of 43.56 metres.
