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.
