Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report on the proposal to introduce double and single yellow lines within the St Mary’s Gate area, Shaw.

Restrictions along the south side of King Albert Street and the west side of Chapel Street and at the junctions of both St Mary’s Gate and Chapel Street with Rochdale Road currently existed, which assisted in ensuring the free flow of traffic through the area by removing double and obstructive parking.

The proposal had been approved under delegated powers on 24^th April 2018 and subsequently advertised. Three letters of objections had been received. The basis of the objections was that parking problems would be moved to a new area.

Observations revealed that on-street parking did take place and obstructions occurred on St Mary’s Gate and the surrounding streets. Due to the area being within a close proximity to Shaw District Centre, parking was a premium for residents, businesses and visitors to the area.

Options considered

Option 1: to approve the amended recommendation.

Option 2: not to approve the amended recommendation.

RESOLVED that, notwithstanding the objections received, the single and double yellow lines be introduced as amended in the report and in accordance with the schedule at the end of the report.
