(b) prohibit motor vehicles from entering into Rye Lane from its junctions with HANOVER PARK, HIGHSHORE ROAD, ELM GROVE, HOLLY GROVE, BOURNEMOUTH ROAD, and BLENHEIM GROVE except for buses (where relevant) and taxis, and except for the purposes of loading during the permitted hours only;

(c) remove (i) existing ‘one-way’ operations in ELM GROVE and in BOURNEMOUTH ROAD, and (ii) remove the corresponding ‘no-entry’ in RYE LANE at its junction into Bournemouth Road;

(d) remove the northbound ‘bus and cycle only’ route in RYE LANE at its junction with Copeland Road; and

(e) clarifies prescribed turns in HANOVER PARK on approach to, and at its junction with, Rye Lane.

3. The effect of the (Waiting and loading restrictions) Order would be, on a permanent basis to:-

(a) convert all waiting and loading restrictions in RYE LANE, which lie between its junction with Hanover Park and its junction with Copeland Road, to operate (i) ‘at any time’ (double yellow lines and double kerb blips) on the east and north-east side, between the southern kerb-line of Hanover Park and a point 31 metres north-west of the north-western kerb-line of Copeland Road, and (ii) ‘at any time’ (double yellow lines) with timed loading and/or unloading permitted between the permitted hours only (single kerb blips) on the south and south-west side, between point 5.5 metres north of a point opposite the southern kerb-line of Hanover Park and a point 3 metres south of the north-western wall of No. 206 Rye Lane; and

(b) in BOURNEMOUTH ROAD remove all existing ‘at any time’ loading restrictions on both sides north-east of its junction with Rye Lane.
