Decision details

Proposed Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO's) for High St, Orange Grove and North Parade, Bath to facilitate the free flow of traffic and improve street functions, leading to improvement of the public realm.  TRO's required are:- 'No Waiting At Anytime/ No Loading At Anytime/ Disabled Bays/ Loading Bays/ Coach Bays and Taxi Bays'.  A Cabinet decision will only be necessary if there are objections to the published TRO.

(1) To AGREE the Traffic Regulations Orders for High St, Orange Grove, North Parade and Grand Parade, as recommended; and

(2) To AGREE the proposed layout for Terrace Walk (as shown in Appendix B of the Report), to be carried forward as a test implementation through the use of experimental traffic regulation orders.

The proposed TRO’s for the original consultations, together with the layout for Terrace Walk, will ensure that the spaces defined for the various functions of High St, Orange Grove, North Parade and Terrace Walk provide clear direction to users and allow parking enforcement officers to manage the spaces appropriately.  This will protect the public realm, improve operation in those streets and minimise impact upon the public transport and the highway network in the area.

A number of options have been considered for management of coaches and taxis in Orange and Terrace Walk, as outlined within the Cabinet report decided upon in November 2011.
