DETAILS:
Following the introduction of a pay and display system within the car parks for Swinton Shopping Centre the level of parked vehicles within the surrounding roads to the north of Chorley Road increased, causing disruption and inconvenience to the local community.
Representation was made to the Local Authority by way of a residents petition, and a considerable number of letters were received highlighting the difficulty now experienced by the community due to the lack of on street parking.
There was also an existing record of complaints from the residents surrounding the Civic Centre both to the north and south of Chorley Road due to number of vehicles belonging to City Council workers that were left unattended for the full duration of the working day
Capita Symonds were commissioned by the Local Authority to undertake a parking and congestion study of the area which resulted in a number of recommendations highlighting the residents and business requirement for a Community Parking Scheme in the area surrounding the Civic Centre
An initial set of proposals were devised and submitted to the Lead Member for Planning.
These proposals were approved with a recommendation to consult with the Local Community.
A consultation exercise and a series of residents meetings were conducted to ascertain the views in respect of the proposals, and to ensure that as far as possible the views of the residents and businesses were taken fully into account in determining any future potential measures that could be introduced. As a result of this exercise a number of minor amendments were subsequently incorporated given that parking schemes affect people in different ways. It was also agreed that the most appropriate way forward would be to introduce the scheme via an experimental Traffic Regulation Order for two years. This would allow the scheme to be fully assessed prior to making the order permanent
It is proposed that the experimental order be reviewed at 3 monthly intervals
The basis of the original scheme would have seen parking regulations introduced that in the main only allowed vehicles to be parked during specific times for 1 hour return prohibited in 2 hours with an exemption for permit holders. However during the consultation exercise it became apparent that the residents living to the north of Chorley Road did not want this concession so that only permit holders will be able to park in this area
During the consultation it was agreed that the period of operation of the scheme would be 24/7 within the parking bays situated in area to north of the Chorley Road and Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm in those areas to the south of Chorley Road. Differing times are proposed for Partington Lane due to the category of road and its associated use
Permits will be issued to all residents with vehicles registered within the area on a one for one basis and 1 visitor permit would be given to each household. Businesses will be considered on their requirements but it is envisaged that no more than 4 permits will be given to any single business in the area.
In order to allow parking bays to be introduced on both sides of the road there is a requirement on Clarendon Road and Stafford Road to introduce a one way traffic flow system to ensure vehicle manoeuvrability and highway safety. A similar request was also received for Paddison Street but unfortunately it is too narrow to allow bays on both sides even if it were to revert to one way working.
The proposals also include provision for a disabled parking bay on Clarendon Road adjacent to the Agnes Hopkins Centre and a further disabled bay on Wellington Road
Within the proposed scheme area there are three existing advisory only disabled parking bays which will require removal in order to facilitate the scheme. Reimbursement will need to be arranged for those residents that have paid to have these bays introduced
The specific layout and details of the scheme are as detailed in the recommendations below and attached plans.
In relation to St Anns Street no proposals are to be submitted at this stage due to the requirement to obtain permission from Government Office North West for the signs that would be needed to reflect the residents request of only permitting permit holders only to park without the need for parking bays and yellow lines.
