Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 26 September 2025 and 24 October 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.

During the formal consultation, three objections were received regarding the proposed introduction of No Loading Monday to Friday 8am – 6pm on Cartmel Avenue, Accrington.

After consideration of the points raised, Officers propose to review this proposal with the intention of alleviating the concerns raised during consultation. To allow for full consideration by Officers, a modification has been carried out to defer the introduction of the restrictions and remove the original advertised proposal from the Order.
A modification consultation was undertaken from 05 December 2025 to 02 January 2026. This consultation gave effect to the original proposals, with the exception of the proposals relating to Cartmel Avenue, which are proposed to be deferred.

No objections were received during the modification consultation. Therefore, officers recommend that the Cartmel Avenue proposal be removed from this Order.

Decision

Peter Bell, Highway Regulation Manager, on behalf of Matt Townsend, Director of Highways and Transport, took the decision to approve the proposal as set out in the report.
