Purpose:

Content: 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 (Blackburn Street, Chiffon Way & Brocade Close) (Prohibition of Waiting) Traffic Regulation Order 2025   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 (Blackburn Street, Chiffon Way & Brocade Close) (Prohibition of Waiting) Traffic Regulation Order 2025 as a permanent Traffic Order. Implementation of this order will promote a safer and more accessible environment for all highway users my discouraging indiscriminate commuter parking along these residential streets.   Options considered and rejected were: Officers considered a more onerous parking scheme which was originally advertised. This included restricting waiting at all times along both sides of Chiffon Way and along the west side of Brocade Close. Due to the representation raised during the statutory consultation, this original proposal has been modified to lessen the impact on local residents whilst still retaining meaningful improvements in access and road safety.    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 access and the safety of all highway users.    The source of funding: The scheme is funded by the East Salford 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: There are no direct financial implications contained within this report.   Procurement Advice obtained: There are no procurement implications contained within this report.   The following documents have been used to assist the decision process: Proposal Plan and Lead Member Report.   Contact Officer: Michael Kilby          Tel. 07591350447       Email: Michael.Kilby@salford.gov.uk     This decision is not subject to consideration by another Lead Member.   The appropriate scrutiny panel to call-in the decision is the Growth & Prosperity Scrutiny Panel.       Signed: Councillor Mike McCusker                                        Dated: 9 April 2025 Lead Member for Planning, Transport & Sustainable Development                 This decision was published on 11th April 2025.   This decision will come into force on 22nd April 2025, unless it is called-in in accordance with the decision-making process rules.
