The Cabinet Member for
Parks, Highways & Transport Services has considered details of
a proposed package of traffic regulation orders associated with the
ATF4 Romiley project.  The initial proposals were developed under the
Mayor’s Cycling and Walking Challenge Fund (MCF) as part of
the ‘Romiley District
Centre’ and ‘Romiley to
Stockport’ packages. These were previously presented along
with the consultation reports containing representations by
residents and businesses and approved by the Werneth Area Committee at meetings that took place
on 8 March and 21 November 2021 respectively.
 
Following the meeting
of the Werneth Area Committee on 4
March 2024, late feedback was received from Active Travel England,
which has resulted in the location for the new toucan crossing on
Hatherlow needing to be moved 3 metres
south of its original proposed location. In addition to this,
anomalies have been noted within the traffic regulation order (TRO)
schedule presented to the Area Committee.
 
The amendments to both
the plan and TRO Schedule are shown on the revised drawing and
detailed in the revised TRO Schedule.
 
Ward councillors have
been consulted on the proposed amendments in advance of their
consideration by the Cabinet Member.
 
The Cabinet Member for
Parks, Highways & Transport Services has subsequently given
approval to the legal advertisement of the traffic regulation
orders detailed in Appendix A and B to the report and, subject to
the receipt of no objections within 21 days of the advertisement
date, the subsequent making of the orders to be funded by funds
availed to Stockport Council from the Active Travel Fund (Tranche
4).

Alternative options considered

None.
