• “Parking Disc” means a disc, issued by a local authority, 125 millimetres square, coloured blue and capable of showing the quarter hour period during which a period of waiting begins, which has not ceased to be valid.

City of Salford (Denim Close, Swinton Park, Salford) (Prohibition of Waiting and Loading/Unloading) Order 2023

Statement of reasons

As part of the approval for a new development, off Worsley Road A572, there was a condition that the narrow access road had to have prohibition of waiting restrictions on it. As any vehicles parking on the narrow access road would either block the road for other vehicles and or block the also narrow footways for pedestrians.

Additionally, a comment was made that disabled badge holders and loading unloading would still be possible therefore loading restrictions have now been added to cover the narrowest section of the access road with the development being residential in nature it requires access 24/7.

It has been proposed to implement No waiting at any time and No Loading/Unloading restrictions on Demin close to ensure the new development is maintained. The proposals are in the interest of safety and maintaining safe access at all times for resident’s visitors and service and emergency vehicles along with pedestrian.
