Overview

From 1 September 2021, motor vehicles will be banned from entering Hans Street, between the eastern kerb-line of Hans Place and the western kerb-line of Pavilion Road, between 8.00am and 9.00am and between 4.00pm and 6.00pm on Mondays to Thursdays inclusive and between 8.00am and 9.00am and between 12.15pm and 1.15pm on Fridays.

[Note: (1) The pedestrian and cycle zone in the above location is the same as that which was provided as part of a previous experimental scheme but with different hours of operation. All objections and comments received to the previous experimental scheme will be carried forward to this experimental scheme and will be considered before deciding whether to make the scheme permanent. (2) Foot scooters, e-scooters, emergency vehicles, Dial-a-ride buses and vehicles displaying a valid Blue Badge are exempt from the closure. Residents and traders who live or work in the sections of road referred to above will be able to register for an exemption. (3) The pedestrian and cycle zone will operate at the times stated above, although in practice it is anticipated that it will only operate during these hours in school term-time, when physical barriers are installed on street].
