Welcome to WCC's Consultation Pages.

We asked

We asked for comments in relation to the proposed extension of the operational time of the existing pedestrian and cycle zone at the locations details below (currently operating at weekends from 10am Saturday to midnight Sunday) to include Monday to Friday 6pm to 10pm.

1. Great Minster Street from the boundary of no. 6 and no. 7 Great Minster Street to its junction with The Square.
2. The Square from its junction with Great Minster Street to a point 79 metres north-west of its junction with Market Street (including the hammerhead but not The Square Service Spur)

In order to facilitate this, the following provisions were also proposed to be extended to include Monday to Friday 6pm to 10pm: -

  • At The Square, north from a point 60 metres north-west of its junction with Market Street to a point 70 metres north-west of the junction (currently Saturday 10am and midnight, Sunday at any time only).
  • At The Square, south from a point 37 metres east of its junction with Great Minster Street to a point 59 metres west of its junction with Market Street (currently Saturday and Sunday at any time only)
  • Goods vehicle loading only at The Square, north from a point 60 metres north-west of its junction with Market Street to a point 70 metres north-west of the junction (currently Saturday 6am to 10am only)

A further minor amendment was also proposed to The Hampshire (Various Roads, Winchester) (Parking Places and Restriction of Waiting) (Controlled Zone) (Consolidation) Order 2010 as amended to rename “Schedule 3A” as inserted by Variation Number 52 to “Schedule 3AA”.
