The Council has been contacted by local residents and Ward Members who have shown concern regarding inconsiderate and unsafe parking and have requested that consideration be given to the introduction of waiting restrictions on the junction of Heyes Lane and Langham Grove to prevent traffic disruptions when buses turn out of Langham Grove onto Heyes Lane and improve safety conditions at the mentioned junction.

1.     That the introduction of ‘No waiting at any time’ parking restrictions on the junction of Heyes Lane and Langham Grove, as detailed on drawing number E9021-01, be approved.

2.     That formal consultation be carried out with nearby residents at each location and that any objections maintained be reported back for consideration.

3.     That authorisation be given to advertise the intention to introduce the Traffic Regulation Order as detailed in the Schedules to this report, and that if no objections are maintained, the Order be made and implemented in whole or in part.

The Council has over the years received numerous complaints and representations from residents regarding the parking conditions on roads near the Timperley Metrolink stop. The issues raised are primarily concerns of long stay, weekday, daytime non-resident parking by commuters using the Metrolink to travel to Manchester and Altrincham. Funds were thereby made available by the Council for the design and introduction of parking measures in the area to enhance residential amenity by deterring this undesirable parking.

Consultation exercises have been undertaken by the Council to gauge the level of local support for the introduction of a parking scheme and the objections received have been considered along with all relevant matters referred to by the objectors.

1)          That the results of the consultation be noted.

2)          That following careful consideration of the objections and comments received, authorisation be given to make and introduce the Traffic Regulation Order in part; by making an order giving effect to some of the proposals to which the order relates whilst deferring the remainder for a decision in future.

3)          That a future report considering the deferred proposals be submitted within 3 months of the making of the order and that, any subsequent orders be made within 2 years of the advertisement date. The restrictions to be introduced are detailed on schedules 1, 1A and 1B, with schedules 2 and 2A detailing the deferred proposals. The scheme is also illustrated on drawings E8995-01-obj, E8995-02-obj, E8995-03-obj and E8995-04-obj to this report.

4)          That the objectors are notified of the Council’s decision.
