(b)every local authority (other than the street authority) in whose area any street to which the proposed designation relates is situated; and

(c)any person who has requested the street authority in writing to be given notice of a proposed designation.

The notice shall include a statement that all objections must be in writing and must specify the grounds on which they are made.

7.  If within the specified period no objection is received by the street authority, or if all objections have been withdrawn, the street authority may make the designation.
