Statement of reasons 

For proposing to make the City of Salford (Ellesmere Park, Walkden) (Prohibition of Waiting and Revocation) Order 2022 and the City of Salford (Ellesmere Park, Walkden) (20mph Speed Limit Zone) Order 2022

In connection with the Ellesmere Park development, it is proposed to:

• introduce No Waiting at Any Time restrictions on Moss Lane at its junction with Manchester Road, to ensure that this busy junction is kept clear of any parking restricting access or egress, especially at peak periods;
• introduce No Waiting at Any Time restrictions on various lengths of the estate roads; and
• introduce a 20mph Zone on a length of Moss Lane and the adjacent estate roads.

The proposed No Waiting at Any Time and 20mph Zone will ensure safe access and egress in to and out of the new development which is located off the A6 Manchester Road, Walkden. It is necessary to introduce these restrictions to deter vehicles from parking close to junctions and in turning heads, which would otherwise impede the safe movement of traffic, including service and emergency vehicles. Additionally, the restrictions in the turning heads will ensure that service vehicles are not forced to reverse long distances and are able to turn round and exit in a forward gear.

The measures will also ensure safe access and forward visibility for road users within the development and introduce an appropriate speed limit for these residential roads, facilitating the free flow of traffic and improving road safety.

Further information is provided in the draft Orders and scheme plans.
