Norwich - Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting (No Waiting at Any Time)

THE NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL

(NORWICH, VARIOUS ROADS)

(PROHIBITION OF WAITING) ORDER 2026

The Norfolk County Council propose to make an order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The effect of which will be to prohibit the waiting at any time on the lengths of road specified in the Schedule to this Notice; to amend The City of Norwich (Southern Area) (Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting) Consolidation Order 1982 (as amended) (the “1982 Order”) by deleting the reference to Wilberforce Road from its junction with Earlham Road to a point opposite the joint boundary line of No. 603 Earlham Road and No. 99 Friends Road; and to amend The Norwich City Council (University Area Controlled Parking Zone) Traffic Regulation Order 2004, as amended (the “2004 Order”), by:

1. Deleting the reference to Wilberforce Road the east side from the northern boundary of No. 99 Friends Road for a distance of 20 metres in a northerly direction, from Schedule 113 (No Restriction on Waiting at Any Time) of the 2004 Order; and

1. Deleting the following references from Schedule 2 (No Waiting at Any Time) of the 2004 Order:

   a. Wilberforce Road the east side from a point opposite and 20 metres north of the centre line of the access road into the University Village to a point opposite and 28 metres south of that centre line.

   b. Wilberforce Road the east side from its junction with Earlham Road to the northern boundary of No. 99 Friends Road.

The 1982 Order and 2004 Order, along with any subsequent orders, are revoked only insofar as they either: (a) prohibit waiting at any time on the specific lengths of road described in the Schedule of this Notice; or (b) impose no restriction on waiting at any time on the specific lengths of road described in the Schedule of this Notice where such a restriction would conflict with the prohibition of waiting at any time on the specific lengths of road described in the Schedule of this Notice.
