Associations to Oppose Leeds Bill
Page 62
If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
A JOINT petition is to be made by the Traders 1-1Road Transport Association and the Road Haulage Association against the Leeds Corporation Private Bill. The Associations are concerned in particular with clauses 11 and 15 of the Bill, which would cause hardship to their members.
Clause 11 would enable the Corporation to make regulations prohibiting roads to vehicles "for the purposes of improving or facilitating the movement, convenience or comfort of persons or other traffic using the road or any part of the road or in the interest of the amenity of the area surrounding the road or any part of the road".
It would also permit orders to be made restricting vehicular access in any road in the city for periods of up to eight hours in any consecutive period of 24 hours.
In the Associations' view the Corporation already has adequate powers to prohibit or retrict traffic in the city, and a power intended to regulate traffic should be used for that purpose and not to preserve "the comfort" of persons using the road or "the amenity of the area surrounding the road". The Association support shopping precincts but a prerequisite of them is that there should be adequate access to offstreet loading facilities.
Clause 15 of the Bill would enable the Corporation to make orders stopping .up roads or prohibiting access by vehicular traffic where it appears to them "expedient for the proper planning or the improvement of the environment or the amenities of any part of the city".
. This power is regarded as unjustifiable and unnecessary by the Associations.
