PROCEDURAL ISSUE?
I may have found an issue with the Traffic Management Order, would appreciate others' thoughts:
I was reflecting that it is an odd place for a single yellow as no clear reason for it.
So I checked the TMO: Restriction I think made under an Experimental TMO (pdf linked here if convenient:)<https://pre.hillingdon.gov.uk/downloads/file/2403/24-april-experimental-waiting-restrictions-to-support-the-existing-traffic-calming-measures-in-tavistock-road-yiewsley>)
(Schedule 1 a) iii) details relevant ‘Mon-Fri, Midday – 1pm’ waiting times restriction).
ETO purportedly made under s9 Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. s9(3) RTRA provides 'no ETO shall continue in force for longer than 18 months'.
(s9 RTRA: <https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/27/section/9>)
ETO entered into force 1 May 2024 (see link above, page 1). 18 months elapsed on 1 November 2025? Purported PCN issued 10 February 2026.
Am I correct to believe this should be a slam-dunk?
I’m aware a new/permanent TMO may have been made, but cannot find any more recent on Hillingdon’s website or elsewhere. I've made an FOI request for any and all TMOs affecting relevant road and will update.
