Decision
 
I, Councillor McCusker,
Lead Member for Planning,
Transport and Sustainable Development, in exercise of the powers
contained within the Council Constitution do hereby:
 
Authorise the making of the Traffic Regulation Order
below,
in the modified form as set out in the
report:
 

City of Salford
(Narbonne Avenue and Portland Road, Eccles)

(Prohibition of
Waiting) Order 2023
 
The Reasons are: That the
necessary action be taken under the Road Traffic Regulation Act
1984 to advertise the intention to make the Traffic Orders to
introduce ‘City of Salford (Narbonne Avenue and Portland
Road, Eccles)(Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2023’ to
create safer environment for all road users.
 
Options considered and rejected were:
To take forward the original
scheme as advertised. This was rejected and the amended scheme
proposed which reflects a compromise between the demand for
on-street parking in the area, whilst still maintaining visibility
for all road users as set out in the report.
 
Other suggestions had been put
forward by objectors, some of which were raised at the Lead Member
Briefing, which had not been taken forward for the reasons outlined
in the report.
 
Assessment of Risk: The
restrictions will be signed in accordance with the Traffic Signs
Manual and Traffic Sign Regulations and General Directions. (TSRGD
2016).
 
The source of funding
is: The scheme is funded from Highways Devolved Capital Budget for
Eccles in 2023-2024 financial year.
 
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 TRO.
 
Financial Advice
obtained: The proposed scheme will be
funded from Highways Devolved Capital Budget for Eccles in
2023-2024 financial year.
