Purpose:

Traffic Regulation Order – The County of Dorset (Post Green Road, Lytchett Minster) (Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 2025

Decision:

That having considered the proposal, to implement the Prohibition of Motor Vehicles restriction along part of Post Green Road, Lytchett Minster as advertised.

Reasons for the decision:

For avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the roads, or any other road, and for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising.

 

To ensure a safe environment for pedestrians (specifically school children) on Post Green Road, reducing the potential for conflict between two-way traffic and pedestrians along a narrow section of the road.

 

For facilitating the passage on the road, or any other road, of any class of traffic (including foot passengers) or of vehicles.

Alternative options considered:

An alternative proposal for a Prohibition of Entry Order was previously considered and a public consultation was carried out in July-August 2025. Following the outcome of this consultation, it was agreed not to continue with this proposal as it was felt that a Prohibition of Motor Vehicles Order at school times only would be more suitable.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

No interests declared.
