Section 10(2) of the RTRA 1984 provides that an ETO may include provision empowering a specified officer of the Council who made the order (or another person authorised by that specified officer) to modify or suspend the operation of the ETO or any provision of it if it appears to him or her to be essential in the interests of the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of traffic; in the interests of providing suitable and adequate on-street parking facilities; and/or for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which any road traffic affected by the ETO runs.

5. Plans of the proposed measures can be requested for inspection, by emailing streetscene.consultations@hackney.gov.uk.
