NOTICE is hereby given that on 16th September 2016, the London Borough of Hackney made an Experimental Traffic Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (“the Act”) and all other enabling powers.

1. The Experimental Traffic Order, which comes into operation on 26th September 2016, will close the following roads (except for cycles and emergency vehicles):

a) Tottenham Road, just west of the junction with De Beauvoir Rd;

b) Buckingham Road, just west of the junction with De Beauvoir Rd;

c) Culford Road, just south of the junction with Culford Grove;

d) Ardleigh Road at the junction with Culford Rd

e) De Beauvoir Rd, just south of the junction with Englefield Rd, restrict northbound vehicles (except cycles and emergency vehicles) from exiting De Beauvoir Rd (half road point closure)

2. These changes will be introduced for a trial period before consideration is given to whether the provisions of the Experimental Traffic Order should be made permanent.

3. Plans of the proposed measures can be inspected during normal office hours on Mondays to Fridays inclusive until a period of 6 months from the date, on which this notice is published, in the reception area, London Borough of Hackney, Hackney Service Centre, 1 Hillman Street, London, E8 1DY. Further information may be obtained by contacting Helpdesk on 020 8356 8991.

4. The experimental provisions can continue in force for a maximum of 18 months trial period before a permanent Order is considered. Within a period of 6 months from the coming into operation of the Experimental Traffic Order any person may object to the making of a permanent Order. Any objection should be in writing, giving the grounds on which it is made and be addressed to the Head of Streetscene (Public Realm) at the address given in paragraph 3 above. Any comments in support of the Experimental Traffic Order are also invited during this period.

5. Any person wishing to question the validity of the Experimental Traffic Order or any of its provisions on the grounds that it is not within the powers of the relevant enabling Act or that a requirement of any such enabling Act or of any relevant regulations made there under has not been complied with may, within six weeks from the date on which the Experimental Traffic Order was made, make application for this purpose to the High Court.

Dated this 19th day of September 2016.

Andrew Cunningham

Head of Streetscene

(The officer appointed for this purpose)
