A representative of the Strategic Head of Service (Legal & Democratic Governance and Monitoring Officer) submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a proposal for the introduction of No Waiting at Any Time restrictions on part of Woodsmoor Lane in Woodsmoor and outlined the cost for illuminated single track road signage on Moorland Road.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         Members welcomed the proposals and noted that current parking issues on this part of the road resulted in dangerous manoeuvres in order to pass.

·         That the proposal would not remove many parking spaces as it was acknowledged that parking in this area was already limited.

·         Members had submitted comments and complaints from residents to the Highways Team relating to a trial of a one-way street and this proposal was viewed as an improvement.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to the legal advertising of the following Traffic Regulation Orders and, subject to the receipt of no objections within 21 days of the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the following orders at a cost of £1,512 to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Stepping Hill ward allocation):-
