Purpose

To determine the objections received during the TMO statutory consultation process to formally notify decision makers of the planned consolidation and digitisation of all Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) onto the Mapper system, including Moving Orders, in line with the Government D-TRO mandate.

Decision

1. That the background to the Digitisation of Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) project as set out in this report be noted.  The statutory obligation arises under the Traffic Orders and Notices (Provision of Digital Information) (England) Regulations 2025 (D-TRO Regulations 2025) pursuant to section 93 of the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 (the 2024 Act), under which, Southwark Council (the Council), together with all local authorities, is required to fully digitise all of its TMOs by the Department for Transport (DfT).
2. That it be noted that a statutory consultation advertising the new orders was advertised between 16 July to 6 August 2026, comprising new on-street static TMOs  (including orders relating to moving traffic, speed limits, and housing estate and other off-street parking restrictions), in accordance with the statutory procedure set out in the Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 ("the 1996 Regulations").
3. That it be noted that a statutory consultation was carried out with the bodies and persons specified in regulation 6 of the 1996 Regulations, and with the chief officer of police pursuant to paragraph 20 of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 ("the 1984 Act"), before any TMOs are made.
4. That it be noted that no representations were received during the consultation.
5. That the making of the above new orders and for the Council to become fully digitised with its TMOs as per DfT requirements, be approved.
6. That the transition of Temporary Traffic Management Orders (TTROs) to a digital format in compliance with the D-TRO Regulations 2025 being implemented by the DfT, be noted.
