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 City Council constitution do hereby:   Authorise the permanent making of the Traffic Regulation Order below, in the original form, as set out in the report:   City of Salford (Greengate West, Bridgewater Street & Surrounding Streets in Blackfriars & Trinity) (Prohibition of Waiting & Amendment) 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 (Greengate West, Bridgewater Street & Surrounding Streets in Blackfriars & Trinity) (Prohibition of Waiting & Amendment) Order 2025 as a permanent Traffic Order. Implementation of this order will promote a safer and more accessible environment for all highway users by discouraging indiscriminate city centre parking along these residential streets.   Options considered and rejected were: Officers considered and rejected extending the times of operation of the existing single yellow line restrictions to include weekends. This would not address indiscriminate visitor parking during evenings, and would not keep access and sight lines clear at all times around the internal junctions of these residential streets. Officers also considered and rejected a permit parking scheme as the criteria would not be met due to the majority of the residential properties having access to off-street parking provision by way of a driveway.   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 No. 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: 8th October 2025 Lead Member for Planning, Transport & Sustainable Development               This decision was published on 10th October 2025.   This decision will come into force at 4:00pm on 17th October 2025, unless it is called-in in accordance with the decision-making process rules.
