Decision details

Parking on streets in the Station Road area by commuters and visitors to Ormskirk town centre has caused obstructions at junctions whilst inconveniencing local residents, most of whom are without off-road parking facilities.  A number of measures including Residents' Permit Parking have been proposed to deal with these problems. Approval is sought to introduce a Traffic Regulation Order to prohibit waiting at any time on Chestnut Court, Station Road and Hardacre Street, to prohibit waiting Monday to Friday from 8am till 6pm (1 Hour  No Return Within 3 Hours) on Station Road, to limit waiting, Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6pm on Station Road, Hardacre Street, Railway Approach and Scarisbrick Street (except for residents permit parking holders), and introduce disabled parking places on Station Road, Scarisbrick Street and Leyland Way, Ormskirk, in accordance with the schedule attached at Appendix 'A' and plans attached at Appendices 'B' to 'E'.

The proposed scheme has been advertised and a number of objections have been received.

In the absence of the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, County Councillor Geoff Driver, the Leader of the County Council approved the introduction of the Traffic Regulation Order forStation Road, Hardacre Street, Chestnut Court, Scarisbrick Street, Leyland Way and Railway Approach, Ormskirk, as advertised and set out at Appendix 'A' and shown on the plans attached at Appendices 'B' – 'E'.
