This report sets out two Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders which suspended elements of existing restrictions and introduced various parking restrictions, one way traffic, prohibition of driving, prohibition of driving (except goods vehicles) and bus lane, on various roads in Accrington town centre associated with the opening of the George Slynn Bus Station and the decommissioning of the Peel Street Bus Station. Approval is sought to make the Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders permanent in order to facilitate further proposed Traffic Regulation Orders in the town centre associated with the Town Square public realm improvements.
The proposals have been advertised in the local press and by way of notice on-site and objections have been received.
