NOTICE is given that the Bath and North East Somerset Council has made an order under provisions contained in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will introduce the following variations to restrictions in the Bath and North East Somerset:-
Introduction of an additional resident’s permit charge based on vehicle size (area) in 2026/27.
An increase to visitor permit charges in 2026/27.
Introduction of emissions-based parking charges at unrestricted sections of Weston Road, Bath, between the junction with Park Lane and the north east entrance into Royal Victoria Park.
It’s proposed that 25 metres of central zone permit holder parking on Monmouth Street be changed to Police Vehicle only parking and to mitigate this reduction in permit holder parking, 25 metres of dual-use (permit holder / pay and display) parking on Monmouth Place will become exclusive central zone permit holder parking. This also includes a further amendment to formalise a loading bay on Monmouth Place within the Traffic Regulation Order.
The order will come into operation on the 21st August 2026. Full details of the proposal together with a map and a Statement of the Council’s Reasons for making the order may be inspected at the One Stop Shops at Manvers Street, Bath, The Hollies, High Street, Midsomer Norton and at the Civic Centre, Market Walk, Keynsham during normal office hours. The proposal may also be viewed on the Council’s website by searching for 25-076 on the web page: www.bathnes.gov.uk/permanent-traffic-order-notices
Any person who desires to question the validity of, or any provision contained in the order on the grounds that it is not within the powers of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or on the grounds that any of the relevant requirements of that Act has not been complied with in relation to the order, may within six weeks after the date on which the order was made, apply to the High Court for this purpose.
