(NOTE: This notice is about closing Northanger Road to all motor vehicles at certain times of the day by introducing a pedestrian and cycle zone and by the placing of barriers, initially as an experiment. The road closures and pedestrian and cycle zone can operate between 8.15 am and 9.15 am and between 3 pm and 4 pm on Mondays to Fridays, although it is anticipated that they will only operate during those hours in school term-time. Objections may be made to the road closures and the pedestrian and cycle zone being continued on a permanent basis – see paragraph 6.)

1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Lambeth ('the Council') on 12th March 2019 made the Lambeth (Prescribed Routes) (No. 1) Experimental Traffic Order 2019 under sections 9 and 10 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The Order will come into force on 25th March 2019.

2. The general effect of the Order will be to ban motor vehicles from entering Northanger Road, during certain times of the day. This will be achieved by making the road a pedestrian and cycle zone and by placing barriers at the junctions of Northanger Road with Greyhound Lane, Buckleigh Road and Westwell Road. The pedestrian and cycle zone and barriers can be in operation between 8.15 am and 9.15 am and between 3 pm and 4 pm on Mondays to Fridays, although in practice it is anticipated that they will only operate during these hours in school term-time when the traffic signs are showing, and the barriers are in place. Any vehicle that is already in Northanger Road before the pedestrian and cycle zone commences will be permitted to leave.

3. The Order is intended to create a pleasant environment that feels safer in the immediate vicinity of a School, discourage travelling to school by car in cases where alternative means of travel are available, and encourage walking, scooting and cycling to school, thereby achieving positive health outcomes for the school community.

4. If you have any enquiries about this matter, please telephone the Council’s Capital Programmes Team on 020 7926 0644 or email: schoolstreets@lambeth.gov.uk.

5. A copy of the Order and other documents giving detailed particulars about it (including a map) are available for inspection between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm on Mondays to Fridays inclusive (except on bank/public holidays), until the Order ceases to have effect, at: the offices of Lambeth Council's Highways and Enforcement Group (Environment and Growth), 3rd Floor, Civic Centre, 6 Brixton Hill, London SW2 1EG. To arrange inspection please telephone 020 7926 0209 or email: bpoulter@lambeth.gov.uk.

6. The Council will consider in due course whether the provisions of the Order should be continued in force indefinitely by means of a permanent Order made under section 6 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Any person may object to the making of the permanent Order for the purpose of such indefinite continuation, within a period of six months beginning with the date on which the experimental Order comes into force or, if the Order is varied by another Order or modified pursuant to section 10(2) of the 1984 Act, beginning with the date on which the variation or modification or the latest variation or modification comes into force. Any such objection must be made in writing and must state the grounds on which it is made and be sent to Barbara Poulter, Highways and Enforcement Group (Environment and Growth), London Borough of Lambeth, PO Box 734, Winchester, SO23 5DG. Any objection may be communicated to, or be seen by, other persons who may have an interest in this matter.

7. If any person wishes to question the validity of the Order or of any of its provisions on the grounds that it or they are not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that any requirement of that Act or of any instrument made under that Act has not been complied with, that person may, within 6 weeks from the date on which the Order was made, apply for the purpose to the High Court.

Dated 15th March 2019
