Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Major Projects Strategic Traffic Management, Regeneration, Economy and Growth which requested approval to progress changes to the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) in the Ferryhill District at Broom Road and Cleves Court (for copy of report and presentation, see file of minutes).

Kieron Moralee, Traffic Management Section Manager provided a detailed presentation which included a location plan of the proposals and associated buildings; a plan showing the extent of the changes and a plan showing details of the proposals and objectors. He outlined the proposal to introduce no waiting at any time restriction following reports from residents via Elected Members at Broom Road and Cleves Court.

The Traffic Management Section Manager clarified a point made by Councillor A Sterling regarding the measures which had been suggested as parking restrictions were already in force along Broom Road. He added the measures were being introduced to help support existing highway code 243 regulations and these changes would formalise new highway marking.

Councillor A Sterling Moved that the recommendation be agreed. Councillor F Tinsley Seconded with agreement that there was ample off-street parking for residents opposite and as the school had a long frontage it would not be impacted by the regulations.

Upon a vote being taken the Committee unanimously Resolved: That the committee endorsed the proposal, in principle, to amend the Ferryhill Parking and

Waiting Restrictions, Traffic Regulation Order 2018, with the final

decision to be made by the Corporate Director under delegated powers.
