Authorise the permanent making of the Traffic Regulation Order below in the form given in the Notice of Proposals and as set out in the report:

City of Salford (Shipley Avenue Area) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2023

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 (Shipley Avenue Area) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2023 as a permanent Traffic Order. Implementation of the Traffic Order would allow enforcement of waiting restrictions to take place, improving access, road safety and traffic flow in this residential area.

Legal advice obtained:

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 TRO.

The scheme is being funded by the Claremont & Weaste Highways Devolved budget 2021/22 carried forward.
