Following investigations and formal public consultation it is proposed to make a Traffic Regulation Order to address anomalies in parking restrictions and to clarify, simplify and remedy a number of discrepancies that have been identified in the Pendle, Preston, Rossendale, and Wyre districts to allow for effective enforcement.
In addition, new restrictions are proposed in the districts of Chorley, Fylde, Pendle, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre.
These proposals are to address safety concerns of vehicles parking causing serious problems with regard to safe and expeditious traffic movement and obstruction of drivers' visibility impeding access and egress to adjacent properties in particular for emergency service vehicles and larger deliveries and refuse collection vehicles.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C19 have been complied with.
