Purpose

Concerns have been raised regarding congestion issues on North Park Road during peak visitor times for the adjacent Lister Park. The Park is also set to become the venue for a number of events associated with the ‘2025 City of Culture’. In order to prevent ongoing congestion issues it is proposed to implement an experimental one-way system and revise existing waiting restrictions to help with traffic flow and create additional parking spaces where possible.

Decision

i) That authorisation be given to prepare and advertise Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders (ETRO’s) for the proposed One-Way system and revised waiting restrictions on North Park Road.
ii) That any valid objections to the Orders be given consideration by the Strategic Director Place and the Portfolio Holder - Regeneration, Planning and Transport, before a decision is made on whether or not to convert the experimental Order to a permanent Traffic Regulation Order
