Following investigations and formal public consultation it is proposed 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 is obstructing driver's sightlines, impeding access and egress at junctions and access to some businesses. Some of the measures are proposed to ensure access for emergency service vehicles, refuse collections and larger deliveries to properties.
The proposal looks to introduce new restrictions in the districts of Burnley, Chorley, Pendle, Preston, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre whilst removing current restrictions that are no longer required and correcting inconsistencies with the current Order in the districts of Fylde, Pendle, Preston and South Ribble.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C19 have been complied with.
