Dated: STATEMENT OF REASONS THE HERTFORDSHIRE (VARIOUS ROADS, ASWELL, ROYSTON AND BALDOCK) (PROHIBITION AND RESTRICTION OF STOPPING AND WAITING) ORDER 2021 (MODIFICATION) 2021 Hertfordshire County Council is proposing to modify The Hertfordshire (Various Roads, Ashwell, Royston and Baldock) (Prohibition and Restriction of Stopping and Waiting) Order 2021 published under a Notice of Intention on 7 January 2021. The modification will comprise of –  Introduction of ‘No waiting at any time’ restrictions on parts of Silver Street. These restrictions were omitted from the original Order proposals. The original TRO is being proposed as a means to improve junction safety and safety in the vicinity of schools. The proposed waiting restrictions affecting Silver Street are intended to keep the approaches to the school clear of parked vehicles, thereby improving visibility to motorists of pedestrian movements. 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. 1:1 0 I I I I I 10 I I I @A4 1 0 2 0 40 mm
