Scheme Information

To introduce the scheme, the Council has to undertake a number of distinct but related formal legal processes, including public consultation. 

Southampton City Council has made the following Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders:

a)  The City of Southampton (Portswood Broadway) Experimental Traffic Regulation Order 2024
b)  The City of Southampton (Portswood Active Travel Zone) Experimental Traffic Regulation Order 2024

Southampton City Council is also proposing the following:

c)  The City of Southampton (Portswood Broadway) Traffic Regulation Order 2024,
d)  The City of Southampton (Portswood Broadway) (Traffic Calming Works) Notice 2024,
e)  The City of Southampton (Portswood Broadway) (Supporting Measures) Notice 2024,
f)  The City of Southampton (Portswood Active Travel Zone) (Traffic Calming Works) Notice 2024,
g)  The City of Southampton (Portswood Active Travel Zone) (Supporting Measures) Notice 2024,
h)  The City of Southampton (Portswood 20mph) Order 2024,

The Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders (ETROs) were made on 23rd October 2024 and will come into force on 27th January 2025. The Council will be considering in due course whether or not to make these ETROs permanent.

Any person may object to, or make any other comment on, the ETROs being made permanent within six months of them coming into force (or within six months of any modification to ETRO coming into force, whichever is later). Please note that comments made on the ETROs before they come into force will be recorded but will only be considered along with all other responses to the ETROs following the end of the six-month consultation period.

The consultation on the Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) and other regulatory notices will run from 25 October 2024 to 15 November 2024.

During this time, we encourage you to comment. This can be done via the blue button above or in writing to the Highways Legal Team at Southampton City Council, Civic Centre, Southampton, SO14 7LY or in person at Portswood Library, where the staff can help you use the online feedback form. Once the consultation period closes, we will consider all the feedback before making a decision on how to proceed.
