Decision details

Wrigley Head Area, Failsworth – Experimental Traffic Management Scheme

Decision Maker: Director of Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the introduction of a traffic management scheme in the Wrigley Head area of Failsworth, under experimental powers, to allow the effect of the measures to be monitored before a decision is made on the scheme remaining in place permanently.
This report supersedes a previous scheme which received Mod Gov approval on 2 January 2023, decision number D4571

Decision:

RESOLVED - That:
the Traffic management scheme detailed in the schedules at the end of this report be introduced on an experimental basis for a period of 18 months

Reasons for the decision:

If the traffic management measures described above are not introduced, the alternative option is to leave access along Wickentree Lane and Wrigley Head as it is now, but this will allow the continued use of Wickentree Lane by HGV drivers wising to access the businesses at Wrigley Head. It is therefore recommended that the experimental traffic management scheme is introduced.

Alternative options considered:

Not applicable

Other reasons / organisations consulted

None
