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.
• 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
