Salford City Council - Record of Decision

I, Councillor Derek Antrobus, Lead Member for Planning 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, and that it be implemented accordingly –

 City of Salford (A666 Manchester Road – A666 Bolton Road Area, Salford) (Bus Lane, Prohibition of Waiting, Loading – Unloading Restriction and Mandatory Cycle Lane) (Traffic Regulation Order) 2019

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 (A666 Manchester Road - A666 Bolton Road Area, Salford) (Bus Lane, Prohibition of Waiting, Loading – Unloading Restriction and Mandatory Cycle Lane) (Traffic Regulation Order) 2019.

Assessment of Risk: Each package of schemes will be individually developed and will individually follow the council’s approval process. The works are of a similar nature to projects delivered previously and the City Council and TfGM have appropriate project management processes in place.

The source of funding: The scheme is being promoted by Transport for Greater Manchester (“TfGM”) on behalf of Greater Manchester Combined Authority (“GMCA”), in association with Salford City and Bolton Councils as part of the Greater Manchester Growth and Reform Deal therefore the scheme delivery costs will be externally funded by GMCA.

Legal Advice obtained: Where objections are received by the Council following the advertisement of proposals, the decision regarding the implementation of the proposals is delegated to the relevant Lead Member for determination, following consultation with the Council’s Traffic Advisory Panel. Adhering to this procedure should not give rise to any legal implications, provided the works are carried out in accordance with the appropriate statutory requirements, including the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Financial Advice obtained: N/A
