PUBLIC NOTICE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 (AS AMENDED)

WORCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL (VELO BIRMINGHAM, ) (TEMPORARY TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS)(SPECIAL EVENT) ORDER 2017

NOTICE is hereby given that Worcestershire County Council intends to make an Order under Section 16A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended) to facilitate the holding of the Velo Birmingham Cycle Sportive event through Worcestershire on 24 September 2017.

The effect of the order would be that on 24 September 2014 there will be road closures to ensure the safety of the 15,000 anticipated cyclists and public as this major sporting event passes through the areas of District Council, Malvern Hills District Council, Wychavon District Council and Bromsgrove District Council. The route is set out in the attached plan and road closures or alterations detailed below.

There are exemptions to the restrictions for emergency services, authorised event officials, safety officials to access the closed roads as necessary and to enable pedestrian access to premises.

Approximate times of closures in specific areas are set out on the schedule to this notice, but are subject to change at any time

There is no statutory process for objecting to the proposed Order. The event organisers CSM have already undertaken widespread public engagement and resolved or mitigated many potential problems and accordingly the County Council intends to make the proposed road closures to support the major event. It recognises that this will cause disruption and the County Council wishes to take into account and seek to mitigate as far as practicable particular problems the event may cause. Specific issues not yet raised should be advised as soon as possible in writing to us at [email protected] and copied to CSM e-mail [email protected], to enable prompt attention or to Ed Dursley, Streetworks & Events, Network Control, Worcestershire County Council, New Highways House, Warndon Depot, Pershore Lane, Worcester, WR4 0AA.

We can only consider comments received by 14 August 2017, given the need to finalise planning the event. Following that date, the final decision on the details of the event and on the proposed Order will be made as soon as practicable after 14 August and the public notified.

The Order is intended to be in operation only on 24 September 2017 and during the times set out for the particular roads.

A map of the affected roads and a web-version of this notice can be seen on http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/directory/34/public_notices_directory
