Authorise the making of the Traffic Regulation Order below,

in the modified form as set out in the report:

City of Salford (Narbonne Avenue and Portland Road, Eccles)

The Reasons are: That the necessary action be taken under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to advertise the intention to make the Traffic Orders to introduce ‘City of Salford (Narbonne Avenue and Portland Road, Eccles)(Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2023’ to create safer environment for all road users.

Options considered and rejected were:

To take forward the original scheme as advertised. This was rejected and the amended scheme proposed which reflects a compromise between the demand for on-street parking in the area, whilst still maintaining visibility for all road users as set out in the report.

Other suggestions had been put forward by objectors, some of which were raised at the Lead Member Briefing, which had not been taken forward for the reasons outlined in the report.

The source of funding is: The scheme is funded from Highways Devolved Capital Budget for Eccles in 2023-2024 financial year.

Legal Advice obtained: The Council, by virtue of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 can introduce orders to manage traffic. 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.

Financial Advice obtained: The proposed scheme will be funded from Highways Devolved Capital Budget for Eccles in 2023-2024 financial year.

Salford City Council - Record of Decision

I, Councillor McCusker, Lead Member for Planning, Transport and Sustainable Development, in exercise of the powers contained within the Council Constitution do hereby:

Authorise the making of the Traffic Regulation Order below,

in the modified form, as set out in the report:

City of Salford (East Philip Street, East Salford)

(Prohibition of Waiting and Limited Waiting Parking places) 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 Orders to introduce ‘City of Salford (East Philip Street)(Prohibition of Waiting and Limited Waiting Parking Places) Order 2023’ to create safer environment for all road users.

Options considered and rejected were:

The scheme was originally consulted as a business permit scheme however, the two permits the local authority would provide would not be enough for some of the businesses located on East Philip Street.  The scheme for a limited waiting bay was advertised in August 2022 to which 14 objections had been received. The recommended amended scheme consists of double yellow lines along one side of East Philip Street and to implement an unrestricted parking bay on the opposite side to allow access to the building and parking for the businesses.

One objector, representing Paradise Works, made representations at the Lead Member Briefing indicating that not all the businesses located at the studio would require a parking permit, and those that did would not require more than one.  It was reported that other businesses located on East Philip Street had indicated that they would require more than two permits.

It was suggested that the introduction of an alternative scheme could be reconsidered separately in the future if the requirements of the area could be met by such a scheme.

Assessment of Risk: The restrictions will be signed in accordance with the Traffic Signs Manual and Traffic Sign Regulations and General Directions. (TSRGD 2016).

The source of funding is: The scheme is funded from Highways Devolved Capital Budget for East Salford in 2023-2024 financial year.

Legal Advice obtained: The Council, by virtue of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 can introduce orders to manage traffic. 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.
