Decision:

The key recommendation of the report is to revoke and replace the existing TRO at Wath Interchange.

Reasons for the Decision:

Failure to modernise the TRO may leave the authority open to legal challenge should the restriction at Wath Interchange be enforced by either the Council or South Yorkshire Police. 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Maintaining the existing TRO is possible, but without enforcement its likely vehicle drivers will continue to ignore the existing ‘no-entry’ signage, leading to a continuation of congestion and impact on bus services which currently occur. 

Therefore, this option has been discounted.
