In a recent development, Devon County Council has announced the permanent implementation of the vehicle prohibition order on Wonford Road, Exeter. This decision follows the successful trial of the Devon County Council (Wonford Road, Exeter) (Prohibition of All Vehicles) Experimental Amendment Order 2023. The order, officially made on Wednesday March 19 2025, will come into effect on Monday March 31 2025.

The original prohibition order from 2022 restricted all vehicles except buses and cycles from using Wonford Road. However, the amendment introduced in 2023 allowed taxis and private hire vehicles displaying bus lane user signs to also proceed along this route. This exemption applies specifically at a point 11 metres southeast of Deepdene Park.

Residents and interested parties can access the full details of the order and related documents online at devon.cc/tro. Additionally, free computer access is available at Devon Libraries during their opening hours for those wishing to view these documents. Physical copies can also be inspected during normal office hours at County Hall, Topsham Road, Exeter EX2 4QD.

Those who have any concerns or believe they may be adversely impacted by this order are encouraged to review the documents and consider their options. If you wish to question the validity of the order or any of its provisions, you may apply to the High Court within six weeks from the date the order was made.
