Decision details

Proposed Traffic Regulation Order - Various roads waiting restrictions (TRO)

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider a report of the Head of Neighbourhood Services seeking consideration as part of the formal and legal process for Traffic Regulation Orders items are brought to Cabinet where the Traffic Management team within the Highways Service Partnership has been unable to resolve objections. 

 

This report will consider one objection to a proposal to introduce waiting restrictions at the junction of Regents Park Road and Langley Road.  The Cabinet will consider an objection to the proposed restrictions and make a decision as to whether proposed restrictions are approved, withdrawn or amended.

Decision:

(i)  Having considered the objection, Cabinet agreed to approve the introduction of waiting restrictions at the junction of Langley Road and Regents Park Road.

 

Reasons for the decision:

  1. To fulfil the Council’s obligation to consult upon proposals and consider objections.
  2. To enable the scheme to be introduced if the objection is not upheld.  The officers’ view is that the proposal should be approved to address issues of road safety at this junction.

Alternative options considered:

  1. Do nothing.  This would mean that vehicles would continue to be parked close to or on the relevant junctions, where there are already visibility problems for other road users.
