Swindon Borough Council

HIGHWAYS ACT 1980 SECTION 116 APPLICATION

Notice is hereby given that the said Swindon Borough Council intends to make an application to the Magistrates’ Court sitting at Swindon in the said county, on Monday 8 January 2007, at 10.45 am, for an Order authorising the stopping-up of an area of land at Portland Avenue in Swindon. The application is being made on the grounds that this part of the highway is unnecessary because redevelopment is taking place and a new roadway and footway infrastructure is being provided as part of that development. The highway concerned is approximately 125 metres in length. The area to be stopped up does not in any way impede or affect any access. A copy of the plan showing the effect of the Order to be applied for may be inspected, free of charge, at Premier House, Station Road, Swindon SN1 1TZ, during normal office hours from 1 December 2006 for a period of 28 days. The plan can also be inspected on site, where a copy is posted. Any person upon whom this notice has been served, any person who used the highway or any other person who would be aggrieved by the making of the Order may appear before the Court and make their objections or representations known. S P Taylor, Director of Law and Democratic Services Civic Offices, Euclid Street, Swindon SN1 2JH. 20 December 2006.
