Bus & Coach restriction – will be introduced on Priory Lane, with those over 12 metres in length being prohibited from entering at all times,
‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Lines) will be amended as follows:
Priory Lane - extend the existing restrictions on the northern side adjacent to ‘The Rectory’ by approximately 7 metres, replacing one of the existing ‘Coach Only’ parking bays in the process,
Barns Lane - extend the existing restrictions on the eastern side, northwards to the southern property boundary of No.12 Barns Lane,
High Street - introduce new restrictions on the eastern side, leading northwards from the northern end of the bridge over the River Windrush, to the traffic signals.
‘No Loading at Any Time’ – will be introduced alongside the extended DYLs on Priory Lane, adjacent to the gated access to the ‘Burford Priory’, in order for the area to be kept clear for turning vehicles only, and
The existing ‘School Keep Clear’ markings on the northern side of Priory Lane adjacent to the Burford Primary School, will be formalised with a ‘No Stopping 8am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday’ restriction.
Additionally, a ‘Humped’ Zebra crossing (i.e. a raised crossing for use by pedestrians only) will be constructed on the A361 The Hill, approximately 75 metres* north of the junction with Windrush Court.
