A report recommending the introduction of Prohibition of Waiting restrictions at Magnolia Gardens and Primrose Bank, Oldham, was approved under delegated powers on 6 March 2023. The proposal was subsequently advertised, and nineteen representations were received. These were reported to the TRO Panel on 28 September 2023, where it was resolved that consideration would be deferred to the next meeting.

A relaxation has been proposed which retains some on street parking space on Primrose Bank, whilst also restricting parking at junctions and on one side of the road to maintain visibility and ease traffic movements respectively. The plan was attached as Appendix C. The remainder of the report below was unchanged from that submitted to the TRO Panel meeting on 28 September, except the addition of the revised plan in Appendix C.

Option 3. Do not introduce the proposed restrictions

 

RESOLVED that the amended proposals contained in Appendix C of the report be approved, retaining some on street parking space on Primrose Bank, whilst also restricting parking at junctions and on one side of the road to maintain visibility and ease traffic movements.
