Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways & Transport Services has given approval to the legal advertising of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for the introduction of the proposed waiting/loading restrictions, Toucan Crossing and Traffic Calming feature on Manchester Road, Cheadle (associated with the Cheadle Railway Station development) and, subject to no objections being received within 21 days from the advertisement date, that the order be made as detailed in appendix A (TRO schedules) and associated drawings attached to the report.

Bollards were originally proposed along Manchester Road to protect the shared use footway/cycleway. However, bollards can be a loading obstruction and in addition, the position of them narrowed the effective width of the shared use footway/cycleway. As a result, the bollards have been removed from the proposals and replaced with peak hour loading restrictions, so the shared use path is protected during the busiest times of day for commuters to/from the station.

None.
