DELAY GIVES HOPE TO BLENHEIM PLACE OBJECTORS

Submitted by Editor on Fri, 11/06/2010 - 16:14

The trams-related Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) was to have gone before CEC's Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee in July.

However, Council officials will announce on Monday that the TRO has been delayed until 21 September to allow time for further consideration of objections and comments received during the public 'deposit period'.

Spurtle understands that an impressive 59 per cent of the objections received concerned Blenheim Place, so the delay may bode well for those resisting the proposed ban on right-turns from London Road.
