2. The general effect of the Orders, which will come into force on 7th September 2020, will, on an experimental basis;

(a) prohibit motor vehicles from entering the carriageway at each of the following locations;

(i) in Mount Road, Chessington (at the existing kerb build-outs adjacent to No. 169 Mount Road); and

Please note; the prohibitions in (a) (i) and (ii) above will not apply to pedal cycles

3. The Orders provide that, subject to the provisions of section 10 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the Council’s Director of Corporate and Communities, or some person authorised in that behalf by them, may, if it appears to them or that person essential in the interest of the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of traffic or for providing suitable and adequate parking facilities on the highway or for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which any road affected by the Orders runs, modify or suspend the Orders or any provision contained therein.

4. Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, the experimental Orders and other documents giving more detailed particulars of the Orders (consultation documents) cannot currently be inspected at Guildhall 2. However, in line with guidance from the Department for Transport, the following alternative arrangements have been made;

a) the consultation documents can be inspected online at www.kingston.gov.uk/downloads/200319/tmos_open_for_statutory_consultation; and

b) copies of the consultation documents can also be obtained by calling 020 8547 5000 (between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Mondays to Fridays) or by emailing TMO@kingston.gov.uk (please quote ref. TMO-P303).

5. Any person desiring to question the validity of the Orders or of any provision contained therein on the grounds that it is not within the relevant powers of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 or that any relevant requirements thereof or any relevant regulations made thereunder have not been complied with in relation to the Orders may, within six weeks from the date on which the Orders were made, make application for the purpose to the High Court.

6. The Council will be considering in due course whether the provisions of the experimental Orders should be continued in force indefinitely by means of Orders made under sections 6, 84 and 124 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Any person may object to the making of an Order for the purpose of such indefinite continuation within a period of six months beginning from the date on which the experimental Order came into force, or if an experimental Order is varied or modified, beginning with the date on which such variation or modification came into force. Any objection must be in writing stating the grounds on which it is made and sent to either the Director of Corporate and Communities, Traffic Order Section, Guildhall 2, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, KT1 1EU or to TMO@kingston.gov.uk (please quote ref. TMO-P303).

Dated 27th August 2020.
