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 as set
out in the report.
 

(Park Street And Worsley Street, Swinton Park) (20
Mph Speed Limit) Order 2024

 

City Of Salford (Park Street And Worsley Street, Swinton Park)
(Prohibition Of Waiting And One Way Traffic) Order
2024

 
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 (Park Street and Worsley Street,
Swinton Park) (Prohibition of Waiting, One Way Traffic and 20mph
speed limit) Traffic Regulation Order 2024 as a permanent Traffic
Orders. Implementation of this order will promote safer traffic
flow in a local residential street by reducing the vehicles using
Park Street as a cut-through road and it will maintain a safer
environment for all highway users.
 
Options considered and rejected were: Officers investigated the possibility of closing off one end of
Park Street to stop the vehicles using this route; however, it was
decided by the Highways Task Group to not take forward this
proposal due to the extent of inconvenience it would cause to the
locals by not allowing them to exit out of Park Street and they
would have to take detour to just get out of Park
Street.  The proposed one-way system
allows vehicles to exit out of Park Street; ensuring that vehicles
would have to use Worsley Street just to enter Park Street but can
exit out of Park Street.
 
Assessment of Risk: 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 is funded by Swinton & Pendlebury Highways Devolved
Budget 2024-2025
 
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: There are
no direct financial implications contained within this
report.
 
Procurement Advice obtained: There are
no procurement implications contained within this
report.
