A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing the revocation of ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions on part of Gainford Road in Reddish.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·       Members expressed concern that the removal of road markings may lead to parked cars blocking the entrance to the cycle path.

·       It was noted that it was not always practical to keep road marking prohibiting parking as residents required parking close to their homes.

·       It was suggested that a more effective method of preventing parking issues was through the implementation of no loading zones instead of double yellow lines.

·       It was noted that as this concerned a cul-de-sac the issue of motorists stopping for short amounts of time would be minimised.

RESOLVED - That approval be given to the legal advertising of the following Traffic Regulation Order at a cost of £700 from Ward Delegated Budget and, subject to the receipt of no objections within 21 days of the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the order:-

Gainford Road

Western cul-de-sac end, from a point 41.0 metres West of the North-Western kerbline of Wemyss Avenue for a distance of 19.5 metres covering the entire cul-desac end.
