Twigworth Green – Traffic Order

Gloucestershire County Council shall be introducing an On-Street Parking Order 2017 “No Waiting at Any Time (Double Yellow Line) Restrictions” on various roads within the Twigworth Green Phase 1a development. 

The proposals are in association with the ongoing development at Twigworth Green to the south-east of the A38 Tewkesbury Road (planning ref – 19/00935/APP). 

The measures are primarily proposed to improve the navigability of these roads and to improve road safety generally for vehicles (including cyclists) and pedestrians. 

This will be achieved by preventing inappropriate parking close to junctions, or where it causes obstruction for passing vehicles (including emergency service vehicles), congestion and obscures visibility for pedestrians attempting to cross the various roads. 

The proposals would also supplement Rule 243 of the Highway Code (i.e., no parking within 10 metres of a junction). 

The restrictions to be introduced … No Waiting at Any Time (Double Yellow Lines) on the following roads:

• Ironbridge Road (82319) – Along sections on both sides of its carriageway between its junctions with Tewkesbury Road and Ironbridge Road (72667)
• Apley Road (82310) – Along sections on both sides of its carriageway north-east of its junction with Ironbridge Road (82319)
• Barley Drive (82308) – Along a section on both sides of its carriageway north-east of its junction with Ironbridge Road (82319) 
• Leighton Close (82320) – Along a section on both sides of its carriageway at its junction with Ironbridge Road (82319) – Along a section on both sides of its carriageway at its internal loop road junction. 
• Carrington Road (82322) – Along a section on both sides of its carriageway at its junction with Ironbridge Road (82319) 

The lengths of roads fall within the Parish of Twigworth in the Tewkesbury Borough within the County of Gloucestershire.
