Salford
City Council - Record of Decision
 
I,
Councillor Mike McCusker, Lead Member for Planning, Transport and
Sustainable Development, in exercise of the powers contained within
the Council Constitution, do hereby:
 

Authorise the permanent making of the Traffic
Regulation Order below, in the modified form, as set out in the
report:
 

City Of Salford (Greenleach Lane, Lumber Lane and Roe Green Area,
Salford) 2022
 
The reasons are: That the necessary
action be taken under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to
advertise the intention to make the Traffic Order to introduce City of Salford (Greenleach Lane, Lumber Lane and Roe Green Area,
Salford) 2022 as a permanent Traffic Order. Implementation
of this order will promote a safer environment for all highway
users when entering and exiting side road junctions, as well as
allow pedestrians to see and be seen when crossing the road.

 
Options considered and rejected were: Officers considered
a more onerous parking scheme which was originally advertised. This
included restrictions along Summerfield Road and at the junction of
Glen Avenue and Mulgrave Road, as well as longer lengths on
Greenleach Lane. Due to the
representations raised by the local community this original
proposal has been revised to lessen the impact on local residents
and businesses whilst still retaining meaningful improvements in
road safety where deemed
necessary. 
 
Assessment of risk: Low
The scheme
has been designed in accordance with the Traffic Signs Manual and
Traffic Sign Regulations and General Directions 2016. The scheme
will contribute to improving the safety of all highway
users. 
 
The source of funding:
The scheme has been funded by the Worsley & Boothstown Highways Devolved Budget.
 
Legal advice obtained: The Council, by
virtue of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 can introduce orders
to manage traffic. Where Traffic Regulation Orders are required,
they should not give rise to any particular
legal implications provided the works and procedures are
carried out in accordance with the relevant statutory requirements,
which would include the consideration of any objections to a
proposed Traffic Regulation Order.
 
Financial advice obtained: The scheme
is being funded by the Worsley & Boothstown Highways Devolved Capital Budget. Making
the scheme permanent in the modified form as recommended will incur
no further financial costs as there would be a reduction in the
scope of work required compared to the original
proposal.
 
Procurement advice obtained: There are
no procurement implications contained within this
report.
 
HR
implications: N/A
 
Climate
Change implications: N/A
