Send a Statutory Objection today
If you oppose the West and East Greenwich Neighbourhood Management Project, submitting a Statutory Objection is the strongest action you can take. Statutory Objections fall under Regulation 9 of the Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996. They must be formally considered by Greenwich Council before deciding whether to make the scheme permanent.
Unlike informal comments submitted on the Commonplace website (which are not part of the legal process), a Statutory Objection has legal weight and can influence the final decision as to whether the LTN scheme is made permanent.
Sending a Statutory Objection is as easy as downloading the document below and adding the date, your name, and your address.
Once submitted, your Statutory Objection becomes part of the official record and must be legally addressed before any final decisions are made.
What CLEAR's Statutory Objection includes
The objection available to send sets out numerous legal, procedural, and ethical failings in the West and East Greenwich Neighbourhood Management Scheme, including:
-
The council’s failure to respond to overwhelming public opposition and consultation feedback
-
Misrepresentation and procedural unfairness in the consultation process, breaching public law standards
-
Unlawful and misleading signage resulting in invalid and potentially unenforceable penalty charge notices
-
Displacement of traffic and road danger onto already congested and high-risk boundary roads
-
Failure to carry out required road safety, equality, and environmental impact assessments
-
Discrimination against disabled, elderly, and medically vulnerable residents, including flawed Blue Badge policies
-
Breach of legal duties under the Equality Act 2010, including failure to make reasonable adjustments
-
Environmental injustice, displacing pollution into poorer, ethnically diverse communities
-
Misuse of public funds on corrective signage, flawed implementation, and inaccessible consultations
-
Failure to comply with digital accessibility requirements under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018
