Purpose

It is proposed to make a Traffic Regulation
Order for the reasons as set out in Appendix 'C', which include
measures to address the following:
• Safety concerns in relation to both vehicles that are parked
causing serious problems with regards to the safe movement of
traffic and parking that obstructs driver's sightlines, impeding
access and egress at junctions and access to some businesses. These
measures will improve visibility at the locations and assist with
the general movement of traffic along the roads.
• Some of the measures are proposed to ensure access for
refuse vehicles and residential properties.
• Some of the measures are proposed to allow buses to safely
pull in and out without blocking the road and for Heavy Goods
Vehicles to manoeuvre in a safe manner with minimal obstruction by
parked vehicles.
• The order further removes restrictions that are no longer
required to provide additional unrestricted parking availability
for local residents and businesses improving the amenities of the
area
• The proposal also formalises restrictions that are currently
on site and corrects inconsistencies that have been identified
within current Orders. These proposals will not make any changes to
the restrictions or their extents on site, therefore drivers will
not be subject to any changes as a result of these proposals

Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 13 June 2025 and 11
July 2025.which included advertising in the local press and notices
being displayed on site. Divisional county councillors were
consulted along with the council's usual consultees and the
consultation documents posted on the council's website.

Following formal consultation 1 objection was received. The main
points raised in the objection, along with Officer comments are
outlines in Appendix C. Democratic Services have confirmed that
this is not 'Significant' to require a cabinet report and can be
approved under the Scheme of Delegation.
