2. The effect of the Orders are, on a permanent basis: -

(b) to remove an existing ‘permit’ parking place 23 metres in length, within CPZ ‘J’ in COOKS ROAD south-west side (south-east of its junction with Otto Street); and
(c) to amend waiting restrictions (i) add an extended length of new ‘at any time’ waiting restrictions in COOKS ROAD south-west side to accommodate the above-mentioned parking changes, and (ii) convert existing timed waiting restrictions (single yellow lines) to ‘at any time’ (double yellow lines) in COOKS ROAD south-west side (at its junction with Otto Street) and on the south-east side of both FLEMING ROAD and in OTTO STREET either side of the junction with Cooks Road.
NOTES: (1) These Orders would supersede similar provisions at the above locations implemented by way of experimental Orders made under section 9 of the 1984 Act (which would be revoked).

(3) All measurements are in metres and are approximate.
