In August 2021 a set of waiting restrictions was introduced on Grange Road, South Downs Road, York Road, Eaton Road and Ash Grove, Bowdon to address issues of road safety and obstructive parking.

During the advertisement of the proposals, which was carried out in June 2020, objections were received to some elements of the proposals. It was then agreed to implement new No Waiting At Any Time restrictions around the junction of Ash Grove and York Road. The Council has subsequently been contacted by residents of Ash Grove, Bowdon regarding the emptying of the waste bins. Unfortunately, due to vehicles continuing to park inappropriately along the cul-de-sac, including on the footway, the refuge vehicles have been prevented from accessing properties on Ash Grove.

It is considered that new waiting restrictions would help improve access for all vehicles, including refuge vehicles, to manoeuvre and access each property on Ash Grove, Bowdon.
