Purpose

The Council has been contacted by residents concerned with parking on the B5397 Dane Road at its junctions with Willow Court, Leith Road & Arnesby Avenue, Sale. The inconsiderate parking results in obscuring visibility for motorists entering / exiting the junctions putting all road users in danger.

The proposal seeks to introduce ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ restrictions in the form of junction protection at the junctions referred to above, to deter the reported parking issues and to improve pedestrian access and visibility for all road users.

The formal consultation took place on 10th May 2023 and 1 objection was received. The main reason for the objection was that the proposals would reduce available parking outside their property.

Having considered the objection received, approval is sought to introduce the scheme as shown on drawing number E9248 A and in the schedule within the report.

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 is given to make and implement the Order as advertised and shown on drawing number E9248 A and in the schedule contained within the report.

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

Reasons for the decision

To enable the necessary parking restrictions to be introduced and enforced, to enhance resident amenity, in the interests of highway safety and to discourage obstruction of the highway. 

Alternative options considered

Leaving out the proposed restrictions to which objections have been raised would be detrimental to resident amenity, highway safety and would also lead to obstruction for other road users.
