Traffic Regulation Orders for Cambridge

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you give me a list of all Traffic Regulation Orders
currently in force that affect any part of the city of Cambridge.
There is no need to include in the list any TRO currently listed on
your Web pages at
<http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/transpo...>.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Harris

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I would like to request a review of the information released by the
County Council in response to my request for information dated 16th
January 2009, reference FOI/ECS/Ref. 199704. I shall send copies of
this review request both by email and by post.

The history of the request can be seen at
<http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tr...>.
I asked for "a list of all Traffic Regulation Orders currently in
force that affect any part of the city of Cambridge," but mentioned
that there was no need to include those listed at the time on the
County Council's Web site at
<http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/transpo...>,
a page which has since been removed.

At the time of the request, the lists on that page mentioned two
Orders relevant to Cambridge, the Cambridgeshire County Council
(Bridge Street Area, Cambridge) Order 1998 and the Cambridgeshire
County Council (Cambridge Road, Milton and Cowley Road, Cambridge)
(Prohibition of Driving) Order 2002. The County Council's response
to my request for information listed ten further Orders, each
qualified by "and associated amendments". I believe that this
response was inadequate in two ways.

The first inadequacy lies in the phrase "and associated
amendments". This is not a list of Orders, but a description of
them. The response should have listed all of the amending Orders
encompassed by that description.

The second inadequacy is that, even allowing a fairly generous
definition of "associated amendments", there appear to have been
some relevant Orders that were not in the list. For instance, The
County of Cambridgeshire (Cowley Road-Milton Road Bus Link,
Cambridge) (Prohibition of Entry) Order 1993 and the Cambridgeshire
County Council (Windsor Road) (Width Restriction) Order 2006 both
appear still to be in force and neither could be considered an
"associated amendment" of another order.

I hope that the consequence of this review will be the County
Council's release of a complete list of Traffic Regulation Orders
in force on 16th January 2009 that affected any part of the city of
Cambridge, with the exception of the 1998 and 2002 Orders listed
above.
