The purpose of this paper is to present representations made following the advertisement and consultation of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) dated 3 December 2025, pertaining to proposed changes to Blake Street.

Representations were received during the statutory consultation process, therefore a decision is required from the Executive Member for Transport to progress the making of the TRO, and the subsequent implementation of the associated safety improvement measures.

Resolved: 

1.    To implement the permanent TRO as outlined in the recommendation with regard to the loading ban.

2.    To implement an experimental TRO to provide blue badge parking bays and changes to the one-way system, with monitoring to take place over next 18 months.

Reason:     This will enable the associated adjustments to Blake Street to be progressed, leading to safety improvements and the ability to enforce the restrictions.

This also takes into account public concern with elements of the scheme.

Any other business which the Executive Member considers urgent under the Local Government Act 1972.
