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 City Council Constitution, do hereby:
 
Authorise the permanent making of the Traffic Regulation Order
below, in the original form, as set out in the
report:
 

City Of Salford (Islington Active Neighbourhood)
(Various Provisions) Order 202x
 

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 (Islington Active
Neighbourhood) (Various Provisions) Order 202x as a permanent
Traffic Order. Implementation of this order will promote a
‘filtered neighbourhood’ where the local community will
benefit from less motor vehicle traffic, significantly improved air
quality and quieter, safer streets without fast moving
through-traffic in this residential neighbourhood area. 
 
Options
considered and rejected were:
Officers considered and rejected increasing on-street parking
capacity above existing levels as this would attract and encourage
motor vehicle travel, and dissuade walking, cycling and public
transport use. Officers considered introducing localised parking
restrictions as requested by one objector opposite Carpino Place,
however this was an established arrangement which will be monitored
post-completion of the scheme. Officers considered retaining the
existing vehicle access arrangements to Rodney Street via Islington
Way and Chapel Street, however this would not support the
objectives of the scheme to remove through-traffic from this
residential neighbourhood area. Officers considered re-opening East
Ordsall Lane as requested by one objector, however this does not
align with the objectives of the scheme, or regional transport
strategies.
 
Assessment of Risk:
The scheme
has been designed in accordance with the Traffic Signs Manual and
Traffic Sign Regulations and General Directions 2016. The design of
the scheme is also subject to the Road Safety Audit process. The
scheme will contribute to improving the safety of all highway users
and promoting active travel.  
 
The source of funding:
The
scheme is funded by an Active Travel Funding grant (Tranche
4).
 
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.
