The Cabinet Member for
Parks, Highways & Transport Services has given approval to the
legal advertising of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for the
introduction of the proposed waiting/loading restrictions, Toucan
Crossing and Traffic Calming feature on Manchester Road, Cheadle
(associated with the Cheadle Railway Station development) and,
subject to no objections being received within 21 days from the
advertisement date, that the order be made as detailed in appendix
A (TRO schedules) and associated drawings attached to the
report.
 
 

Alternative options considered

Bollards were
originally proposed along Manchester Road to protect the shared use
footway/cycleway. However, bollards can be a loading obstruction
and in addition, the position of them narrowed the effective width
of the shared use footway/cycleway. As a result, the bollards have
been removed from the proposals and replaced with peak hour loading
restrictions, so the shared use path is protected during the
busiest times of day for commuters to/from the station.
