Within the period of 6 months from the coming into force of the Order, or if the Order is subsequently varied by another Order or modified, from the coming into force of that variation or modification (whichever is the latest), any person may object to the making of an Order to continue indefinitely those provisions. Any such objection must be made in writing, giving the grounds on which it is made, and sent to the Traffic Director for London, College House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3LN, quoting Ref. A8.1.4.TO/383. Any objection may be communicated to other persons who may be affected.   6. A copy of the Order, a statement of the Traffic Director for London’s reasons for the proposals and for proceeding by way of experiment, a map indicating the location and effect of the Order and copies of any Order revoked, suspended or varied by the Order can be inspected during normal office hours at the offices of: The Traffic Director for London, College House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3LN, and Catford Library, Laurence House, 1 Catford Road, Catford SE6 4SW.   7. The documents will be available for inspection during the period within which objection can be made in accordance with paragraph 5 above.   8. Any person desiring to question the validity of the Order or of any provision contained in it on the grounds that it is not within the relevant powers or that any of the relevant requirements have not been complied with in relation to the Order may, within 6 weeks of the date on which the Order was made, make application for the purpose to the High Court.
