The Strategic Director, Place, presented a report (Document “A”) which asked Members to consider an objection to a proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions and a ‘School Keep Clear’ marking on sections of Dockroyd Lane, Oakworth. 

It was explained that the proposed restrictions were considered necessary to ensure that sections of highway were kept clear therefore reducing the risk of blocking refuse collection vehicles/large delivery vehicles and emergency services from accessing the area. During bad weather vehicles accessing Dockroyd Lane also had difficulty manoeuvring if vehicles were parked opposite due to the road width and the inclines involved

The proposed TRO would also protect the rear entrance to the school from inconsiderate parking at opening/closing time and providing a safer environment for school children.

A Member questioned if restrictions could be placed in the area during refuse collection times only but it was explained that such restrictions would be impossible to enforce and would not assist the issues faced by large delivery vehicles; emergency services and would not protect the entrance to the school from inconsiderate parking.

Resolved –

1.    That the objections to the proposed Traffic Regulation Order, as shown in drawing no TDG/THN/103890/CON-1B attached at Appendix 1 to Document “A”, be overruled and that the Order be sealed and implemented as advertised.

2.    That the objector be advised accordingly.
