Decision Maker: Corporate Director Place

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: Requests have been received from residents of Albion Grove, Grange Road, Roebuck Lane and Ventnor Avenue, Sale, who are all current blue badge holders, for consideration to be given to the provision of a disabled persons’ permit parking bay close to each of their properties.   Albion Grove, Grange Road, Roebuck Lane and Ventnor Avenue are located within existing residents’ permit parking schemes and, as such, will need will require an amendment to the Traffic Order, if disabled residents’ permit parking spaces are to be introduced at each location.   The disabled residents’ permit parking spaces in the Albion Grove and Roebuck Lane areas of Sale are designated ‘Cv’ permit holder parking only and are operative on a 24-hour basis.   The disabled residents’ permit parking spaces in the Grange Road area of Sale are designated ‘Cx’ permit holder parking only and are operative on a 24-hour basis.   The disabled residents’ permit parking spaces in the Ventnor Avenue area of Sale are designated ‘Caj’ permit holder parking only and are operative on a 24-hour basis.   There is also an existing advisory disabled bay located on Albion Grove within a length of limited waiting restriction, with an exemption for residents’ permit holders, that should have been converted into a mandatory bay when the residents’ permit parking scheme was introduced. It is, therefore, proposed to convert this advisory disabled bay into an enforceable bay.   Trafford’s Blue Badge Team has confirmed that these applicants all hold valid blue badges.   There are existing anomalies with the descriptions of some restrictions on the southwest side of Roebuck Lane, within the Consolidation Order, as one of the entrances to Roebuck Gardens has now been removed. Therefore, it is proposed to change the descriptions to reflect the status of the southwest side of Roebuck Lane. There would not be any changes to the existing restrictions on the ground, other than the proposed disabled persons’ permit parking bay.
