The order does not only ban through traffic, it bans all motor vehicles. Cars parked outside the time of the order are also banned if they remain after the order comes into force.
It says it is only during term time but the schools in Westbrook do not all have the same term dates and you have to look at the internet to see what they are. This is unworkable nonsense from a Council that is utterly useless in almost every way.
This will make parking at the Westbrook Centre worse than ever and there are insufficient spaces open as it is, particularly during December.
