Purpose

Concerns have been raised that
parked vehicles on both sides of Fourways impede traffic
flow.
 
It is reported that this
parking regularly prevents larger vehicles from accessing adjoining
properties and has also resulted in delays to the emergency
services.
 
To prevent this No Waiting
& No Loading At Any Time restrictions are proposed on both
sides of Fourways, as shown on drawing number
E9479-TRO-01.

Decision

That, following
careful consideration of the informal comments received,
authorisation be given to advertise the intention to introduce the
Traffic Regulation Order as detailed in the Schedule to this report
and that, if no objections are maintained, the Order be made and
implemented in part, as indicated below, as soon as is
practicable.

 

That any objections
maintained be reported for consideration.

Reasons for the decision

Following concerns raised that
parked vehicles cause obstruction to traffic flow, it is proposed
to introduce No Waiting and No Loading At Any Time restrictions on
Fourways.

Alternative options considered

The introduction of prohibition
of waiting restrictions only was considered, but with existing No
Waiting and No Loading At Any Time restrictions in place on
Longbridge Road, and businesses having loading areas off-street it
was considered that the proposed restrictions are more
appropriate.
 
To do nothing would not resolve
the issues currently experienced.
