1. TRC No. 9 (Oxford). An appeal was lodged on the ground that there was no danger to other road users. The TRC was confirmed on the ground that though there was no danger to other road users there was evidence of severe congestion. It was varied slightly with regard to hours when the restrictions applied.
2. TRC No. 21 (Sheffield). An appeal was lodged on the ground that the deputy traffic commissioner acted ultra vires in that he banned new bus registrations and did not specify any times when the TRC should operate. The appeal was allowed in part: the ban on new registrations was lifted and the TRC was varied making it operational from 7 am to 7 pm on Mondays to Saturdays only.
3. TRC No. 23 (Edinburgh). The TRC has just been determined and no appeal has been lodged but the 28–day period in which an appeal may be made has not yet expired.
4. There have been three appeals by local authorities against the decision by the traffic commissioner not to impose the TRCs requested. These appeals were all dismissed.
