ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984

THE LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES (TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS) (WEIGHT RESTRICTION) (CONSOLIDATION No. 1) ORDER 201*

STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR PROPOSING TO MAKE THIS ORDER

The Council is intending to consolidate into one order all the orders which currently impose a weight restriction on moving traffic which affects borough roads, with the exemption of the order in respect of the London Night Lorry Control Scheme (see below).

CHURCH ROAD, RICHMOND – WEAK BRIDGE RICHMOND BRIDGE – WEAK BRIDGE THE TERRACE AND ELM BANK GARDENS, BARNES – PRESCRIBED STREETS

The traffic management orders which are currently in force for weight restrictions at the above locations were made in 1991 and 1993.

This Order proposes a change in the weight limit at the weak bridges or streets/areas such that the regulatory traffic signs will conform to the patterns which are currently prescribed by the Department for Transport and thereby allow for effective enforcement.

The changes to the regulations were made in conjunction with a change in the classification of goods vehicles and drivers licensing. The traffic signs currently in use at these locations (that is, before the 2012 order was made) are ones which are no longer prescribed. It is now proposed that the weight restriction at the Church Road bridge be reduced from 5 tonnes to 3 tonnes, that the restriction at Richmond Bridge be increased from 17 tonnes to 18 tonnes and the restriction in the prescribed roads of The Terrace and Elm Bank Gardens be increased from 16.5 tonnes to 18 tonnes.

The orders of 1991 and 1993 are revoked by this consolidation order.

As a matter of record, the statement of reasons given for proposing an order made on 16 November 1987 in respect of The Terrace and Elm Bank Gardens, Barnes was: “The Transportation sub-committee on 2 September 1987 reviewed the effects of the experimental ban on heavy goods vehicles and decided that the ban should be made permanent having led to a significant reduction in vehicle movements in what are mainly residential roads, thus significantly reducing the unnecessary disturbance to residents and improving the environment.”

THIRD CROSS ROAD, TWICKENHAM – PRESCRIBED STREET

This consolidation order revokes an order made in 1999 in respect of Third Cross Road. As a matter of record, the statement of reasons for making that order was:

“The order is intended to introduce a ban on the weight of heavy goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes in the northern section of Third Cross Road, Twickenham except for those requiring access for servicing those residential properties north-west of its southern restriction. All lorries associated with these businesses will therefore have to enter and leave Third Cross Road via Hampton Road.”

QUEEN’S ROAD, TEDDINGTON – PRESCRIBED STREET

This consolidation order revokes an order made in 2003 in respect of Queen’s Road. As a matter of record, the statement of reasons for making that order was:

“In October 2003 the Council introduced an experimental traffic management scheme in Queen’s Road and Coleshill Road, Teddington to improve the amenities of the area. These measures included a prohibition on goods vehicles whose maximum gross weight exceeds 7.5 tonnes from entering Queen’s Road at its junction with Park Road, Teddington.

“This Order continues in force that prohibition. Queen’s Road is a residential road with very narrow footways and carriageway. Damage to residental properties was occurring due to heavy goods vehicles mounting pavements whilst negotiating the narrow carriageway.

“The sole purpose of this Order is to make permanent the provisions of The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (South-West Teddington) (Weight Limit) Experimental Order 2003”

PETERSHAM ROAD, RICHMOND – RESTRICTED AREA

This consolidation order revokes an order made in 2008 in respect of the restricted area at Petersham Road. As a matter of record, the statement of reasons for making that order was: “It is an offence under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, as amended by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, for motor vehicles to use the towpath without lawful authority. The arrangements which were in place prior to June 2007 to prevent vehicular access to the towpath were deemed to be inadequate. However, the Council recognizes the necessity of vehicular access for riverside businesses and properties in special cases. The Council is, therefore, designating an area of public highway where loading and unloading will be permitted at all times, and a means of providing limited vehicular access to the towpath at times when pedestrian activity is expected to be light. Vehicular access to the towpath is to be restricted to vehicles of no more than 7.5 tonnes maximum gross weight. The restrictions on vehicular access and the method and means of gaining such access are a compromise between an outright prohibition and unrestricted vehicular movement, but will give the authority to which the Act of 1988 alludes.

“This scheme was introduced by way of an experiment to give the Council powers to make modifications or variations to the scheme in the light of operational experience. The experimental Order was the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (Traffic Restriction) (Weight Restriction) (No. 1) Experimental Order 2007.

“The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames has considered the results of the experiment and is satisfied that it has been successful in restricting vehicular access to the towpath with no adverse effects on the local community. This Order therefore is made to replicate and continue in force indefinitely the provisions of that experimental Order.”

Page 2

OTHER WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS

There is no record of the statement of reasons given for (a) the weight limits at the prescribed bridges carrying four roads in the Barnes area over the Beverley Brook; (b) the prescribed area affecting the Kew area; (c) the prescribed area affecting the Richmond Town area; or (d) the prescribed area affecting the Woodlawns Estate area.

HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE

The order which imposes a weight restriction (currently 7.5 tonnes) on Hammersmith Bridge is made by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and is not affected by this consolidation order.

LONDON NIGHT LORRY CONTROL SCHEME

The former Greater London Council made an order in 1985 which introduced an environmental area lorry ban covering the whole of Greater London and which affected goods vehicles over 16.5 tonnes. That order is still in force, although in the intervening years it has been amended several times. The current version of the order was made by an organisation known as “London Councils” which is a statutory body to which each London borough Council and the City of London appoint a representative and which has powers to administer and enforce the above scheme.

The Lorry Control Scheme order remains in force, and is not affected by this consolidation order.

In its current version, and as it affects Richmond upon Thames, certain roads in the borough are excluded from the scheme, these roads being A205 (South Circular Road), A316 (Chertsey Bridge towards M3) and one or two other side roads. Apart from these excluded roads, no vehicle whose weight exceeds 18 tonnes may use any road within the borough between the hours of 9pm and 7am (overnight) or between 1pm on Saturdays and 7am on Mondays, unless London Councils have granted an exemption to an individual lorry.
