Purpose

Following a query
from the police regarding enforcement in the area, it was
discovered that the current Prohibition of Driving except for
access Order dating back to 1989 was implemented for the use of the
old G.E.C. and Custom House and is now out dated to the properties
in the area.
 
Channel Way
eastbound is not a "through road" and only supplies commercial
premises, therefore the restriction serves no purpose. Following
discussions with the police it is now proposed to remove the
Prohibition of Driving.
 
Consultations
 
Formal consultation
was carried out between 25 October-2024 and 22 November-2024 which
included advertising in the local press and notices being displayed
on site. Divisional county councillors were consulted along with
the council's usual consultees and the consultation documents
posted on the council's website.
 
Following formal
consultation No Objections were received.
