NOTICE is given that the Bath and North East Somerset Council proposes to make an order under provisions contained in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will introduce the following restrictions in Bloomfield Rise, Odd Down, Bath;
Prohibit Motor Vehicles between the hours of 8.30-9.05am & 3.00-3.35pm Monday-Friday on the length of Bloomfield Rise from its junction with Somerdale Avenue in a southerly direction to its termination point outside no. 86 Bloomfield Rise creating a school street scheme for St Philip's Church of England Primary School. The restriction shall apply on school days during term time, except for vehicles exempted under this Order.
A fold‑down/collapsible bollard would be installed on the lane next to the school, set back slightly to allow access to the school car park and the neighbouring property from Bloomfield Rise. The school would raise the bollard during School Street operating hours, and a sign at the entrance to the lane would indicate the restrictions. Outside of School Street hours, the bollard would be lowered to enable vehicle access into Bloomfield Rise.
Two permanent bollards on the western side of Bloomfield Rise (opposite the school), would be installed at the edge of the footway in front of the private lane. People with buggies and mobility aids would still be able to pass through, but motor vehicles would not. This restriction would be permanent.
Access for landowners to the private lanes on both sides will always be maintained.
Full details of the proposals, together with a map and a Statement of the Council’s Reasons for proposing to make 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 or may be requested, free of charge, by contacting by email council_connect@bathnes.gov.uk or by calling 01225 394025.
