Purpose

Following complaints received
by the Council and Local Councillors, an investigation has been
conducted to consider junction protection (No Waiting at Any Time)
at the junctions of Keswick Road/Moss Road and Fleming Drive/Moss
Road.
 

Decision

1.         
That authorisation be given to advertise the
intention to introduce the Traffic Regulation Order as detailed in
Schedule 1 to the report and that, if no objections are maintained,
the Order be made and implemented in whole or in part, as soon as
is practicable.
 

2.         
That authorisation be given to advertise the
intention to introduce the Prohibition of Driving Traffic
Regulation Order as detailed in Schedule 2 to the report and that,
if no objections are maintained, the Order be made and implemented
as soon as possible.
 

3.         
That any objections maintained be reported back for
consideration.

Reasons for the decision

Trafford Council has received several complaints from both local
councillors and the community with regards to inconsiderate and
nuisance parking caused by the operation of local businesses in the
vicinity of Moss Road, Stretford. The result of this behaviour has
led to resident frustration and further investigations by the
Council’s Environmental Improvement team into the complaints
relating to untaxed and uninsured vehicles on the public highway
and there has been a history of fly-tipping and anti-social
behaviour on the bridge over the Bridgwater canal.
 
The proposal seeks to introduce
both ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ and ‘Prohibition of
Driving’ Traffic Regulation Orders to deter the reported
parking issues and to improve accessibility for residents along
with more generalised access for pedestrians and motorists
alike.

Alternative options considered

To do nothing would not target
the safety and accessibility concerns.
