TRO5355 - Long Lane, Attenborough - Proposed Waiting Restrictions & Bus Stop Clearways

Overview

Via East Midlands Ltd is working on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council to deliver highway services in Nottinghamshire.

Nottinghamshire County Council has received complaints of obstructive and inconsiderate parking on Long Lane, Attenborough. To help alleviate the problems it is proposed to introduce double yellow lines (‘No Waiting at Any Time’) restrictions.

It is also proposed to introduce two new 19 metre Bus Stop Clearways to be in operation 24 hours.

The County Council works closely with all public transport operators across the County to identify bus stops that suffer from inconsiderate parking. At the location above, bus stop clearways are proposed that prohibits other vehicles from parking or waiting At Any Time at those bus stops, this will be clearly identified with new road markings and signage. The main benefits of bus stop clearways are to:

• Help the bus align with the kerb to enable better access for disabled passengers and pushchair users;

• Ease congestion as a correctly aligned bus will not block the road for other road users;
• Ensure that bus drivers discharge their duty to drop passengers off on the kerb and not on the road;
• Ensure that bus services operate on time and are not unnecessarily delayed.

Further to the initial consultation letter of 12^th March 2025, the next stage of the consultation is to publicly advertise the scheme. The advert will be published in the Nottingham Post and notices will be fixed on site. A plan showing the extents of the proposed double yellow lines (‘No Waiting At Any Time’) restrictions and the extents of the proposed bus stop clearways (No Stopping At Any Time, Except Buses) are attached (Drawing Number H/FR/4865/01) along with a copy of the site notice.

Any objections should clearly state the reasons for the objections and should reach us in writing, either by letter or email, by 13^th August 2025. If the objection cannot be resolved, it will be reported through the County Council’s procedures at the appropriate time.
