A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Area Committee to consider a proposed experimental Traffic Regulation Order for parking restrictions on Douglas Road and Lawrence Road, Hazel Grove. The proposals had been developed following a public meeting with residents and Ward Councillors in response to significant parking problems being experienced by residents.

Councillors commented that although the proposed Order would not necessary suit all residents, it was the best compromise proposal that could be reached. Furthermore, although the experimental Order was for 18 months in the event the measures were not having a positive impact on the situation this would become clear and steps taken to address them.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to the statutory legal advertising of the following Traffic Regulation Order and, subject to no objections being received within 21 days of the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the Order at a cost of approximately £2,500 to be funded from the Area Committee Delegated Budget (Hazel Grove Ward allocation):-
