The purpose of this report is to consider an
objection to a proposal for prohibition of waiting restrictions to
be introduced at the junction of Mora Avenue and Burnley Lane,
Chadderton
Minutes:
Councillor Brownridge declared a personal interest and took no part in the discussion or vote thereon.
The Panel gave consideration to a report regarding objections received to the introduction of waiting restrictions at the junction of Mora Avenue and Burnley Lane.
The proposal had been promoted to address a visibility issue at the junction of Mora Avenue and Burnley Lane reported by local residents. The safety of road users was compromised by vehicles parked close the junction.
The proposal had been approved under delegated powers on 10th October 2019 and subsequently advertised. One letter of objection had been received from local residents. The basis of the objection was that the parking problems in the area were caused by a local business. The objector raised other parking issues which were unconnected with the proposal.
In light of the objection, it was the view of Officers that the objection should be dismissed as the owner of a vehicle parked in the location was not relevant to the proposal. The proposal was to address an issue with visibility at the junction. The lengths of restrictions proposed were not considered excessive and were the minimum thought necessary to address the issue reported.
Options considered.
Option 1: Introduce the proposed restrictions as advertised.
Option 2: Do not introduce the proposed restrictions.
RESOLVED that, notwithstanding the objections received, the proposed restrictions be introduces as advertised.
