Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration.

The report details a proposal to introduce new traffic regulation orders on Hillcrest Road, Bramhall following a request to investigate traffic issues on Hillcrest Road at the junction with Bridge Lane as it had been reported that vehicles were regularly parking on both sides of the road on Hillcrest Road close to its junction with Bridge Lane.  These parked vehicles are said to be causing an obstruction together with visibility issues for drivers negotiating the junction safely.

The Area Committee is requested to recommend that the Cabinet Member for Sustainable Stockport gives approval to the legal advertising of the Traffic Regulation Order (as detailed in Appendix A and B of the report) and subject to the receipt of no objections within 21 days of the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the orders at a cost of £1,010, to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Cheadle Hulme South ward allocation).

A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a proposal to introduce new traffic regulation orders on Hillcrest Road, Bramhall following a request to investigate traffic issues at the junction with Bridge Lane as it had been reported that vehicles were regularly parking on both sides of the road on Hillcrest Road close to its junction with Bridge Lane which was causing an obstruction together with visibility issues for drivers negotiating the junction safely.

It was noted that the Area Committee had considered alternative proposals for traffic regulation orders at this location on 18 July 2019, however it was agreed to defer the matter to a future meeting of the Area Committee pending the undertaking of a site visit between ward councillors and Traffic Services officers to determine whether the extent of the proposed Traffic Regulation Orders was appropriate in the light of concerns raised by local residents.

As a result of the concerns raised by a local residents and following the additional investigations and site visits by officers, the proposal had been amended to extend the existing ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restriction and introduce a new ‘No Waiting Monday-Friday 7.00 am-9.30 am & 4.00 pm-6.30 pm’ restriction.
