3. The Orders are intended to restrict, and thereby reduce, through motor traffic in the Brixton Hill Low Traffic Area, to improve air quality, increase road safety for all road users and improve the amenity of the area, whilst retaining vehicular access for residents and local businesses. The introduction of double yellow lines and the removal/relocation of parking space is necessary to provide turning space for vehicles affected by the restrictions and improve sight lines. The Orders are being introduced as an experiment in the first instance so their effect on the roads concerned and those in the surrounding area can be assessed before a decision is made about whether to continue them permanently.

4. Where it appears essential for certain purposes, the Council’s Assistant Director of Infrastructure, Environment, Public Realm & Climate Change Delivery, or any person authorised by him, may modify, or suspend any of the Orders or any of their provisions under section 10(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

5. If you have any enquiries about this matter, please contact the Council’s Transport Team by email to: lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk.

6. A copy of each of the Orders and other documents giving detailed particulars about them (including maps) is available for inspection at the offices of Lambeth Council's Highways Team (Resident Services), 3rd Floor, Civic Centre, 6 Brixton Hill, London SW2 1EG, until the Orders cease to have effect, or on-line at: www.lambeth.gov.uk/traffic-management-orders. Copies of the Orders and the other documents are also available on request, by email to: bpoulter@lambeth.gov.uk or by telephoning 020 7926 0209.

7. The Council will consider in due course whether the provisions of the experimental Orders should be continued in force indefinitely by means of permanent Orders made under section 6, 45 and 46 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Any person may object to the making of the permanent Orders, within a period of six months beginning with the date on which the experimental Orders come into force, or if the any of the experimental Orders are varied by another Order or modified pursuant to section 10(2) of the 1984 Act, beginning with the date on which the variation or modification or the latest variation or modification comes into force. Any such objection or any representation must be made in writing and must state the grounds on which any objection is made and be sent to Barbara Poulter, Highways Team (Resident Services), London Borough of Lambeth, PO Box 734, Winchester, SO23 5DG (emails sent to bpoulter@lambeth.gov.uk are also acceptable). Any objection or representation received may be communicated to, or be seen by, other persons who may have an interest in this matter.

8. If any person wishes to question the validity of the Orders or of any of their provisions on the grounds that it or they are not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that any requirement of that Act or of any instrument made under that Act has not been complied with, that person may, within 6 weeks from the date on which the Orders are made, apply for the purpose to the High Court.
