Salford City Council - Record of Decision
 
I,
Councillor Mike McCusker, Lead Member for Planning, Transport &
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 (Dakota Avenue) (No Waiting At Any
Time) Traffic Regulation 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 (Dakota Avenue) (No Waiting At Any
Time) Traffic Regulation Order 2024 as a permanent Traffic
Order. Implementation of this order will promote a safer
environment for all highway users when entering and exiting the
private gated car park, maintain access as well as allow
pedestrians to see and be seen when crossing.
 
Options considered and rejected were: Officers considered a more onerous parking scheme which was
originally advertised. This included No Waiting at Any Time
restriction on the southerly kerbline of Dakota Avenue, east of the
car park enterance. Due to the representations raised by the local
community, this original proposal has been revised to lessen the
impact on local businesses, whilst still retaining meaningful
improvements in access and road safety where deemed
necessary.  Officers consider that it
would not be possible to revise the scheme any further without
compromising the safety of drivers and pedestrians in the area.
 
 
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 being funded by
Phoenix Medical Supplies Ltd.
 
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.

process:
