Decision details

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.

Peter Bell, Regulation and Enforcement Manager, on behalf of Matt Townsend, Director of Highways and Transport, took a decision to approve the removal of the Prohibition of Driving at Channel Way, Preston, Preston City.
