It is part of the council’s bus improvement plan relating to bus services in the district.
And will provide a controlled bus service link between the Donnington Heights housing development and Love Lane.
Bastion Street will be used as an entry and exit point out onto Love Lane from the Donnington Heights housing development for local buses and cycles.
Enforcement of the restriction will be via ANPR cameras, rather than by physical engineering prevention means such as rising bollards.
All other vehicles except local buses and pedal cycles will be stopped from proceeding in any direction along Bastion Street between points approximately 30m and 44m north of its junction with Love Lane.
Bastion Street is not yet adopted highway. The project forms part of the approved Capital Programme for 2024/25.
A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is a legal document that must be made by the Local Authority under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to regulate or restrict the use of the public highway either permanently, experimentally or temporarily.
The matter is out for public consultation for the next three weeks.
