Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Corporate Director (Place) & Deputy Chief Executive.

The report details a proposal for the introduction of No Waiting at Any Time restrictions on part of Newby Road in Hazel Grove following reports that vehicles parking along that side which is currently unrestricted are causing conflict amid on-coming traffic (including heavy freight) to and from the Industrial Estate with related concerns over visibility and road safety for occupants exiting their properties.

The Area Committee is recommended to give approval to the legal advertising of the following Traffic Regulations Orders 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 £700 to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Stepping Hill award allocation):-

No Waiting at Any Time:

Newby Road

North Easterly side from a point 10 metres North West of the North Westerly kerb line of Arnside Avenue for a distance of 51 metres in a North Westerly direction and to tie-in with existing.

South Westerly side from a point 15 metres South East of the (projected) South Easterly kerb line of Arnside Avenue in a North Westerly direction for a distance of 79 metres and to tie-in with existing.
