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 (Chaddock Lane and Crosslands Road,
Boothstown and Ellenbrook) (No Waiting At Any Time) Traffic
Regulation Order 2024
 
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 (Chaddock Lane and Crosslands Road,
Boothstown and Ellenbrook) (No Waiting At Any Time) Traffic
Regulation Order 2024 as a permanent Traffic Order.
Implementation of this order will promote a safer environment for
all highway users when entering and exiting side road junctions,
maintain access as well as allow pedestrians to see and be seen
when crossing the road.
 
Options considered and rejected were: Officers considered a more onerous parking scheme which was
originally advertised. This included an additional 59.5m of no
waiting at any time restrictions along Chaddock Lane. Due to the
representations raised by the local community, this original
proposal has been revised to lessen the impact on local residents
and businesses, whilst still retaining meaningful improvements in
access and road safety, where deemed necessary.  Officers consider that it would not be possible to
revise the scheme any further without compromising the safety of
drivers and pedestrians in the area.  
 
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 the safety of all highway
users. 
 
The source of funding:
The scheme is funded by a third-party developer to fulfil a
planning condition associated with application reference
(20/75901/FUL).
 
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:
