The deadline for receipt of objections was extended by Highways England to 19 March 2018.  Well over 10,000 objections were made, not just by the time trialling community but also by many others, to include British Cycling, Sir Gary Verity/Welcome to Yorkshire and Cycling UK (and many of its members).  The Board of CTT would like to thank all those who did take the time to lodge an objection.

Steps are now being taken by the CTT Board to arrange a meeting with Humberside police and Highways England at which it is intended that the proposed TRO is discussed.

Meantime, at a meeting of the Yorkshire District Committee held on 19 March, the decision was taken by Yorkshire DC to withdraw its approval for all events to be held using the V718, V728 and V718/1 courses, to take place with immediate effect.  To clarify any potential misunderstanding, this is a decision made by Yorkshire DC, not the CTT Board, and is intended as an interim measure only pending the proposed meeting with Humberside police and Highways England.  Yorkshire DC wish to stress that this was a decision not reached easily and would ask all riders and organisers for their patience and understanding, through what is a difficult and sensitive situation.
