Issue - meetings

The Panel gave consideration to a report which proposed to introduce a Prohibition of Waiting Order in the Lansdowne Road Area of Chadderton in the form of double yellow lines.

The proposal had been approved under delegated powers on 4^th February 2019 and subsequently advertised. Two letters of objection had been received. The basis of the objections was that there was no parking available for the staff and customers of the nearby businesses. Ward Councillors have shown support requesting the proposal be extended.

Observations showed that excessive parking did take place on Lansdowne Road and Stockfield Road. Whilst the parking on Arkwright Street was minimal, if it was not to be included in the proposal, parking could be displaced to this street creating difficulties for vehicles entering and exiting the waste disposal depot. The visibility and free flow of traffic was obstructed due to larger vehicles parking on the streets. The sight lines for motorists entering and exiting premises/junctions can become obstructed, creating a highway safety issue.

Options considered: -

Option 1: to approve the amended recommendations.

Option 2: not to approve the amended recommendations.

RESOLVED that, notwithstanding the objections received, the double yellow lines be introduced in the Lansdowne Road Area in accordance with the schedule at the end of the report and the proposal relating to extending those lines be advertised.
