A representative of the Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a proposal to undertake a consultation with regard to the introduction of a moving traffic regulation order in the form of ‘No Motor Vehicles Except for Access’ on Thornway, Beechway, Daisyway and Meadway, Marple.

It was commented that a Mobile Speed Indicator Device (SID) had previously been sited on Thornway prior to the opening of the A555, the data obtained from this device could be used to establish a baseline for the number of vehicles that used this route.  It was further stated that a SID should be located on Thornway to monitor traffic volumes along the highway from Meadway and South Meadway following the opening of the A555 to determine if this had made an appreciable impact.

RESOLVED - That approval be given to the commencement of a consultation with regard to the introduction of a moving traffic regulation order in the form of a ‘No Motor Vehicular Except for Access’ on Thornway, Beechway, Daisyway and Meadway, Marple at a cost of up to £4,100 to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Marple South & High Lane ward delegation).
