Salford
City Council - Record of Decision
 
I,
Councillor Mike McCusker, Lead Member for Planning, Transport and
Sustainable Development, in exercise of the powers contained within
the Council Constitution, do hereby:
 

Authorise the permanent making of the Traffic
Regulation Order below in the modified form, as set out in the
report:
 

City of Salford (Blackburn Street, Chiffon Way &
Brocade Close) (Prohibition of Waiting) Traffic Regulation Order
2025
 
The Reasons are: That the necessary
action be taken under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to
advertise the intention to make the Traffic Order to introduce City of Salford (Blackburn Street, Chiffon Way &
Brocade Close) (Prohibition of Waiting) Traffic Regulation Order
2025 as a permanent Traffic Order. Implementation of this
order will promote a safer and more accessible environment for all
highway users my discouraging indiscriminate commuter parking along
these residential streets.
 
Options considered and rejected were: Officers considered a more onerous parking scheme which was
originally advertised. This included restricting waiting at all
times along both sides of Chiffon Way and along the west side of
Brocade Close. Due to the representation raised during the
statutory consultation, this original proposal has been modified to
lessen the impact on local residents whilst still retaining
meaningful improvements in access and road safety. 
 
Assessment of Risk: The scheme has
been designed in accordance with the Traffic Signs Manual and
Traffic Sign Regulations and General Directions 2016. The scheme
will contribute to improving access and the safety of all highway
users. 
 
The source of funding:
The scheme is funded by the East Salford Highways Devolved
Budget.
 
Legal Advice obtained: The Council, by
virtue of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 can introduce orders
to manage traffic. Where Traffic Regulation Orders are required,
they should not give rise to any particular legal implications
provided the works and procedures are carried out in accordance
with the relevant statutory requirements, which would include the
consideration of any objections to a proposed Traffic Regulation
Order.
 
Financial Advice obtained: There are
no direct financial implications contained within this
report.
 
Procurement Advice obtained: There are
no procurement implications contained within this
report.

following documents have been used to assist the decision
process:
