Over the last year, the Council has received several requests for consideration to be given to introduce waiting restrictions at the junctions of Turner Drive/Stretford Road, Westwood Avenue/Stretford Road and Hawthorn Avenue/Stretford Road, Urmston. Residents have expressed concerns regarding inconsiderate parking which reduces visibility for vehicles exiting the cul-de-sacs onto Stretford Road.  Furthermore, there are reported obstruction issues due to double parking on the junctions of these narrow roads.

Following investigations by Traffic Engineers, an informal consultation exercise proposing waiting restrictions was carried out with frontages in the immediate locality. The introduction of ‘No waiting at any time’ restrictions at the abovementioned junctions and the junction of Scholfield Avenue/Stretford Road is now formally proposed to promote driver visibility and deter obstructive parking.
