To consider a report of the Service Director (Place Management)

The report details the results of the public consultation exercises carried in January 2012 and May 2012 respectively to establish whether residents supported the introduction of a Permit Parking Zone ‘PPZ’, consisting of ten streets near the Stepping Hill Hospital and to inform residents of three of these streets (Grenville Road, Norman Avenue and part of Green Lane) who have existing old, free type Residents’ Parking Schemes that the Council is looking to phase out the free schemes and that they would need to re-apply under the new Permit Parking Scheme ‘PPS’ policy to convert to the standard, chargeable permit scheme. The report also seeks approval to proceed with the implementation of Traffic Regulation Orders as detailed in the report.

The Area Committee is asked to recommend that the Executive Councillor (Transportation) approve the proposals for revocation of existing orders and introduction of new orders as detailed in the report.
