(Southover School Street, Lewes)
STATEMENT OF REASONS
The County Council’s reasons for making the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order are:
The Experimental Prohibition of Motor Vehicles on Potters Lane, Cleve Terrace and The Course will support the School Streets scheme in the vicinity of Southover CE Primary school using an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO). The aim of the School Streets scheme is to support a healthier local environment near to the school, by making it safer and more enjoyable for everyone in the community to walk, wheel and cycle.
The Prohibition of Motor Vehicles will be Monday – Friday between the hours of 8.20am and 8.50am and between the hours of 3.00pm and 3.30pm. Residents on these three streets are exempt from the restrictions.
The ETRO will enable the County Council to monitor the operation of the School Streets scheme, to assess if it is working effectively and that restriction to vehicles during peak school hours does not adversely affect all road users and traffic movement within the vicinity of the scheme. The County Council will make appropriate modifications if required.
If it is considered successful, the County Council will make the ETRO permanent (subject to any objections being received during the initial 6 month consultation period, or any subsequent 6 month consultation period) within a maximum period of 18 months.
