ARUNDEL STREET, SURREY STREET AND TEMPLE PLACE

1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Westminster City Council proposes to make the following Orders under sections 6, 45, 46, 49 and 124 of and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended:

• The City of Westminster (Bus Parking Places) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;

• The City of Westminster (Electric Vehicle Recharging Points) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;

• The City of Westminster (Free Parking Places) (Disabled Persons) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;

• The City of Westminster (Motorcycle Parking Places) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;

• The City of Westminster (Parking Places) (G Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;

• The City of Westminster (Prescribed Routes) (No. *) Traffic Order 202*;

• The City of Westminster (Taxi Rank) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*; and

• The City of Westminster (Waiting and Loading Restriction) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*.

2. The general effect of the Orders would be, in connection with public realm improvements around the Arundel Great Court development at No. 2 Arundel Street, to:

(a) reverse the one-way working in Surrey Street so that all vehicles, except pedal cycles, would be compelled to travel in a north-westbound direction;

(b) prohibit all motor vehicles from Surrey Street, except for the purposes of accessing properties only accessible from that road; and

(c) make various amendments to kerb-side controls in Arundel Street, Surrey Street and Temple Place so that the parking provisions and waiting restrictions would be as set out in the Schedule to this Notice.

The proposals would result in the overall gain of one electric taxi rank space (no stopping “at any time”) and 8.5 metres of coach pay-by-phone parking, and the loss of one “Blue Badge” disabled persons’ parking bay, 23 metres of motorcycle parking, six pay-by-phone parking bays, six residents’ parking spaces and one taxi rank space (no stopping “at any time”).

3. Notice is also given, in accordance with the provisions of section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, that the Council intends to:

(a) introduce a “zebra” pedestrian crossing and associated zig-zag markings in Temple Place at the south-western corner of its junction with Arundel Street (the zig-zag markings, together with the crossing itself, would extend for a distance of 15.5 metres south-west of that junction); and

(b) shorten the zig-zag markings on the south-west side of the pedestrian crossing in Temple Place that lies at the north-eastern corner of its junction with Arundel Street by 6 metres.

4. The proposed Orders and other documents giving more detailed particulars of the proposals are available for inspection until six weeks have elapsed from the date on which either the Orders are made or the Council decides not to make the Orders at http://westminstertransportationservices.co.uk/notices. Please note that documents will not be available for inspection in person until further notice.

5. Further information may be obtained by telephoning the Council’s agents, WSP, telephone number (020) 3057 2156.

6. Any objections or other representations about the proposals should be sent in writing to the Council’s agents, WSP, Room 603, 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London, SW1W 0AU, or by email to tmo.westminster@wsp.com quoting reference 7514/PJ, by 22nd July 2020. All objections must specify the grounds on which they are made.
