Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: Following complaints of commuter parking, a questionnaire was issued to properties in the Stretford area regarding parking conditions. Feedback to the consultation showed there was no widespread support for the introduction of permit parking in the area.   There were pockets of support for restrictions in the area albeit many residents were unwilling to pay for parking permits.   In light of this, it is proposed to introduce a series of localised restrictions to combat specific issues. These are proposed in the following locations:   At the Quadrant Roundabout, At the junctions of Gorse Avenue with Gorse Lane, Gorse Crescent and Gorse Drive, On Ayres Road At the junction of Gorse Lane with Talbot Road   The proposals are shown on drawing numbers CO00201596-RPS-TRO-01, 02 & 03 appended to this report.
