The prohibitions will also not apply to vehicles displaying a disabled badge, emergency vehicles, vehicles being used for works on the road and certain school transport vehicles.

Formal objections are not invited at this stage, as a further period will be allowed for the submission of objections when the proposals are formally advertised. It is intended to advertise the proposals at an early date and I should welcome any comments you may have to offer within 3 weeks of the date of this letter.

Yours faithfully
