if it appears essential to do so for certain purposes and he has obtained the consent
of the Traffic Director for London.
In due course the Lambeth Borough Council, with the consent of the Traffic Director
for London, will be considering whether or not the provisions of the Experimental
Orders should be continued in force indefinitely. Within the period of six months
from the coming into force of the Orders, or if the Orders are subsequently varied
by another Order under section 9 or modified pursuant to section 10(2) of the Road
Traffic Regulation Act 1984, from the coming into force of that variation or modification
(whichever is the latest), any person may object to the making of Orders to continue
indefinitely those provisions. Any such objection must be made in writing, giving
the grounds on which it is made, and sent to the Manager of Transport Planning Group,
Courtenay House, 9-15 New Park Road, London SW2 4DU. Any objection may be communicated
to other persons who may be affected.
A copy of each of the Orders, of plans which illustrate their provisions, and a
statement of the Council’s reasons for making the Orders can be inspected, from 9.30
a.m. until 4.30 p.m., on Mondays to Fridays, in the Council’s offices at Courtenay
House, 9-15 New Park Road, London SW2 4DU; and from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m., on Mondays,
from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on
Fridays, and from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturdays, at Streatham Library, 63 Streatham
High Road, London SW16 1PL.
The documents will be available for inspection during the period from 6th February
1998 until the Orders cease to have effect.
Any person desiring to question the validity of the Orders, or of any provision
contained in them, on the grounds that they are not within the relevant powers of
the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that any of the relevant requirements have
not been complied with in relation to the Orders, may, within 6 weeks of the date
on which the Orders were made, make application for the purpose to the High Court.
T. Hall, Acting Director of Environmental Services 6th February 1998.
