Agenda item

Cabinet considered a report proposing to make a Traffic Regulation Order to address safety concerns in relation to vehicles parking causing serious problems with regard to safe traffic movement and parking that was obstructing driver's sightlines, impeding access and egress at junctions and access to some businesses. Some of the measures were proposed to ensure access for emergency service vehicles, refuse collections and larger deliveries to properties.

The proposals looked to introduce new restrictions in the districts of Burnley, Chorley, Pendle, Preston, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre whilst removing current restrictions that were no longer required and correcting inconsistencies with the current Order in the districts of Fylde, Pendle, Preston and South Ribble.

Resolved: That, the proposals for parking restrictions on the various lengths of road within the Burnley, Chorley, Fylde, Pendle, Preston, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre districts, as detailed within the report and as set out in the Modified Draft Order at Appendix 'A2' of the report, which included the removal of the proposals for Great George Street, Preston as previously advised in Appendix 'F' of the report and amendment to Mill Street, Padiham in Appendix 'B1' of the report, be approved.
