A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Area Committee to consider whether it wished to request a deviation from the Council’s policy on permit parking in order to progress proposals for traffic management measures on Douglas Road, Hazel Grove.

The proposal had arisen following discussions between ward councillors, residents and officers about the challenging parking situation in the area caused by non-resident parking.

RESOLVED – That the Executive Councillor (Communities & Housing) be recommended to agree to deviate from the Council’s Permit Parking Policy to allow the investigation of permit parking on Douglas Road, Hazel Grove even though the road would not meet the policy criteria in order to prevent inappropriate parking at this location.
