Proposals for the introduction of Disabled Bays, Limited Waiting and No Waiting at Any Time Waiting restrictions on Clifton Street, Cross Street, Shrewsbury Street and St Brides Way, Old Trafford, were formally advertised in September 2017.

Following the 21-day statutory consultation in the vicinity of Shrewsbury Street, 5 responses expressing objections were received including a petition signed by residents in the affected area.

Having considered the objections, it is proposed to amend the scheme and only introduce the 24-hour junction protection restrictions, as described in the schedule to this report and shown on drawing E/8948/02.

1)     That the result of the consultation and the objections be noted.

2)     That, following careful consideration of the objections, authorisation be given to introduce the Traffic Regulation Order, with minor modifications, as detailed in Schedule 1 and as shown on drawing E/8948/02.

3)     That the objectors be notified of the Council’s 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.

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.

None.
