Purpose

A number of complaints have
been received concerning access issues and road safety caused by
vehicles being parked in an obstructive manner on Kenmore Drive and
at its junction with Green Lane. It is thought that the majority of
the parking may be attributed to the nearby Altrincham College of
Arts.
 
Due to these concerns, the
Council proposed to introduce junction protection in the form of
double yellow lines around the junction with Kenmore Drive and
Green Lane and on the east side of Green Lane between Kenmore Drive
and the garden centre entrance, in order to restrict parking at all
times. It was also proposed to introduce a single yellow line
restriction on one side of Kenmore Drive (north side) that would
restrict parking between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Following
the informal consultation, it is also proposed to introduce the
single yellow line on parts of Green Lane.
 
The proposals, as shown on
drawing CO00201302-02 Rev D, were formally advertised on 12 March
2020 and received 3 objections and 1 other representation. The
proposals were not introduced at that time, following carriageway
resurfacing. As the two-year time limit for implementing a TRO
following advertising has now passed, the same proposals shown on
drawing E9304-01 were re-advertised on 7 July 2023 and received 4
objections.
 
Having considered the
objections received, approval is sought to introduce the
restrictions as advertised in accordance with drawing E9304-01 Rev
A.

Decision

1)    
That the results of the consultation and objections received, be
noted.

 

2)    
That following careful consideration of the objections and comments
received, authorisation be given to make and introduce the Traffic
Regulation Order as advertised as detailed in Schedule 1 and as
shown on drawing E9304-01 Rev A within the report, as soon as is
practicable.

 

3)      That the objectors be
informed of the decision made.
