PUBLIC NOTICE
CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL PROPOSES TO INTRODUCE
NO WAITING AT ANY TIME ON CHESTNUT AVENUE AND OBELISK WAY, SILSOE

Reason for proposal: Please note these markings are already in place on the ground, however they are
unenforceable as there is no corresponding Traffic Regulation Order. We are carrying out a retrospective
consultation for these waiting restrictions in order to fulfil the legal obligations required to create a
supporting Traffic Regulation Order, so that our Parking Team can enforce these markings.

Effect of the Order:
To introduce No Waiting at any time on the following length of road in Silsoe:-

  1. Chestnut Avenue, east side, from a point approximately 1 metre north of the north flank wall of
    Nos.40-50 Chestnut Avenue, extending in a northerly direction for approximately 15 metres.
  2. Chestnut Avenue, east side, from a point approximately 4 metres north of the south flank wall of
    Nos.40-50 Chestnut Avenue, extending in a southerly direction to a point approximately 2 metres
    south of the north flank wall of Nos.28-38 Chestnut Avenue.
  3. Obelisk Way, north side, from its junction with Chestnut Avenue, extending in an easterly direction
    to a point approximately 19 metres west of the west flank wall of No.26 Obelisk Way.
  4. Obelisk Way, south side, from its junction with Chestnut Avenue, extending in an easterly direction
    to a point approximately 7 metres west of the west flank wall of No.23 Obelisk Way.
