A request has been received from a resident of Heywood Road, Sale, whose son is a blue badge holder, for consideration to be given to the provision of a disabled persons’ permit parking space on Heywood Road.

Historically several requests have been received from residents for the existing Monday to Friday daytime residents only permit holder parking to be extended to cover evenings and weekends, due to parking by visitors to the nearby Sale Rugby Club.

Investigations have identified that 3 lengths of restrictions were not revoked when the residents’ parking scheme was introduced in 2004, but were replaced by new restrictions, leaving a duplication. This necessitates a paper action and there will be no revisions to the current markings on the ground.

As part of its response to COVID-19, the government announced in the Budget on 11 March 2020 that it would provide local authorities in England with £500 million of new grant funding to support economically vulnerable people and households in their local area, with a strong expectation that support should be awarded to working age people.  Trafford’s award was £1,561,070.

The Executive Member was  requested to determine how the Council will award the Council Tax element of this award using the discretionary powers under s13A (1) (c) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and also how the remainder will be used to support vulnerable residents.

(1)        That Trafford Council:

·     Awards all existing working age Council Tax Support (CTS) recipients  - as at 11 March 2020 – a discretionary award equivalent to the value of their 20-21 liability;

·     Treat all new, post 11 March 2020, claims in accordance with its existing CTS scheme, as the vast majority of recipients will receive 100% support, but ensure direct information and advice for further discretionary support is detailed in notification letters;

·     Use the remaining funding towards the rising costs of CTS claims made after 11 March 2020 and significantly increasing Local Welfare Assistance costs.

(2)        That this decision be classified as urgent and exempt from call-in to enable the Council implement emergency measures during the ongoing Covid-19 health crisis.

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. 

Following a request from Greater Manchester Police, it is proposed that all extents of the adopted highway at the Mode Wheel Circle roundabout leading to the Valero site have waiting restrictions imposed.

In addition, obstructive parking problems caused by long-stay, daytime, on-street parking attributed to people working in nearby businesses in the Mode Wheel Circle area of Trafford Park have been raised as part of a review of road safety. 

1.     That following careful consideration of the informal comments received, authorisation be given to advertise the intention to introduce the Traffic Regulation Order, as detailed in the Schedules to the report and that, if no objections are maintained, the Order be made and implemented in part, as indicated below, soon as is practicable.

A number of complaints have been received concerning access issues and road safety caused by vehicles being parked in an obstructive manner on Kenmore Drive and at its junction with Green Lane. It is thought that the majority of the parking may be attributed to the nearby Altrincham College of Arts.

Due to these concerns, the Council is proposing to introduce junction protection in the form of double yellow lines around the junction with Kenmore Drive and Green Lane and on the east side of Green Lane between Kenmore Drive and the garden centre entrance in order to restrict parking at all times. It is also proposed to introduce a single yellow line restriction on one side of Kenmore Drive (north side) that would restrict parking between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Subsequent to informal consultation, it is also proposed to introduce the single yellow line on parts of Green Lane.

1.     That the introduction of ‘No waiting at any time’ and ‘No waiting Monday-Friday 9.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m. parking restrictions on Kenmore Drive and Green Lane, as detailed on drawing number CO0020130-02 Rev D, be approved.
