Gloucestershire County Council recently held a Traffic
Regulation Order (TRO) consultation on plans to partially close Boots Corner to
through traffic as well as other changes which form the Cheltenham Transport
Plan - you can see my response here.
Due to the high number of objections a meeting of the County Council’s independent Traffic Regulation Order Committee will be convened later this year to consider
if the TROs should be approved or not.
Meanwhile the County is going to re-consult further on the
plans (at a date in the near future yet to be announced), with new information to
be provided on the traffic modelling, a revised ‘due regard’ statement about
the impact of the changes on vulnerable people and a slight rewording of the TRO to enable markets and events to take
place in the town centre. More information is in the letters reproduced below.
