Dated: 27/08/2021 STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR MAKING THE HERTFORDSHIRE (VARIOUS ROADS, ASHWELL AND BALDOCK) (PROHIBITION OF STOPPING AND RESTRICTION OF WAITING) ORDER 2021 Hertfordshire County Council published a proposal on 7 January 2021 to introduce waiting restrictions in parts of Ashwell, Royston and Baldock under The Hertfordshire (Various Roads, Ashwell, Royston and Baldock) (Prohibition and Restriction of Stopping and Waiting) Order 2021. The proposals comprised of – • ‘No waiting at any time’ restrictions on parts of High Street, Gardiners Lane, Silver Street, Ashwell, London Road, Layston Park, Royston and Hopewell Road, West Avenue, Coachmans Lane, Pepys Way, High Street, Pinnocks Lane, Pinnocks Close, The Tene, Baldock. • ‘No stopping or waiting on the ‘School Keep Clear’ markings 8.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday restrictions in parts of Silver Street, Bear Lane and Ashwell Street, Ashwell.

Following a consultation process and in light of responses to the published Notice of Intention, those proposals relating to London Road and Layston Park, Royston have been deferred pending further review and the proposals relating to Pinnocks Lane, The Tene and High Street, Baldock have been discontinued. The TRO is being proposed as a means to improve junction safety. Vehicles have been recorded parking close to the junctions obscuring oncoming traffic. These proposals are to prevent vehicles parking in contravention of the recommendations of the Highway Code (mainly Rule 243), thereby ensuring visibility of vehicles and pedestrians is maintained, thus keeping the road clear so passage of vehicles is less restricted. The School Keep Clear markings proposal relates to a reduction in lengths of the current restrictions, to maximise parking following the possible introduction of double yellow lines administered through the Public Engagement Process. Therefore, it appears to the Highway Authority that it is necessary and expedient to make an Order in the interests of; avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising and for facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians). The proposal has been subject to consultation with local and County Councillors representing the area and North Herts District Council. The local Police, Ambulance, Fire & Rescue Services, Hertfordshire County Council Passenger Transport Unit Council, Royston Parish Council and Ashwell Parish Council are also being consulted. 11111 I I I I I A4 0 10 20 30 40 Mus
