Urgent Business

Urgent business, if any, introduced by the Chair

Minutes:

Councillor C Gloster raised an item of Urgent Business in relation to issues with parking on Oak Street, Shaw and asked members to consider ways of addressing the issue for residents.

The Committee were advised that the issue was a perennial problem with residents unable to park outside their own addresses. This was due to employees of the business workers in particular, whom find it easier to park on the surrounding streets whilst working in the Mills. The parking issues were also applicable to Jubilee Street, Cheetham Street, Beal Lane, the Metrolink Car Park, Thomas Street and Duke Street.

Although Members agreed parking on the streets wasn’t breaking the law, it was inconvenient for residents and caused traffic issues due to the volume of vehicles.

In the past members had looked at solutions including:

  • Parking Permits – Permits would actually reduce the parking available for residents.
  • Reversing One Way on Oak Street –This caused more problems in traffic and double parking
  • Parking restrictions – Would not assist with problems and traffic/parking.

Meetings had taken place with the business located in the mills and they had been very helpful to try and enforce zero tolerance however the problems have still persisted.

It was suggested that the business could assist by placing an employee at the relevant parking hot spots when the shift changes to prevent employees from parking however this may not be practicable and parking on the highway was not breaking the law.

 

RESOLVED – To write to the businesses explaining the parking issues via complaints from residents living on the surrounding streets.

5.

Public Question Time

To receive Questions from the Public, in accordance with the Council’s Constitution.

Minutes:

There were two public questions received.

 

Question 1 was submitted by Louie Hamblett.

Can I ask the District Executive what the position is regarding the flooding at Moss Hey. I did ask the Ward Councillor if they could assist with land owner details and I know that enquiries have been made to establish ownership of the land but as yet I am no clearer as to how this will move forward as the relevant Councillor has not been able to identify ownership of the land.

 

Councillor C Gloster advised the meeting that there was a flooding issue at Moss Hey near the steps which lead to the over Metrolink. The District Coordinator had tried to establish the ownership of the land from Council but as yet had no response and this was over three months ago. A reminder would be sent to the relevant officer at the Council to establish the riparian owner in order to address the issues.

 

Question 2 was submitted by Louie Hamblett.

Would the District seek to make meaningful representation regarding the proposed TFGM zoning charge and seek that Shaw and Crompton be placed in zone 3 of the proposal?

 

Members of the committee agreed that representations on the consultation would be submitted from the Chair of the District Executive to the Council’s Transport for Greater Manchester representatives, with the view of the District Executive that Shaw and Crompton should be placed in Zone 3 and not Zone 4. Members expressed concern about the differing Zones within the Borough placing Shaw and Crompton in Zone 4, meaning it would be cheaper for residents of the Borough to travel to Rochdale than to Oldham. The consultation closing date was 17th June 2018.
