      1. a Disabled Person’s Badge in the relevant position if:
         1. the badge is exhibited on the dashboard or facia of the vehicle, or
         2. where the vehicle is not fitted with a dashboard or facia, the badge is exhibited in a conspicuous position on the vehicle, so that the front of the badge is clearly legible from the outside of the vehicle;

Statement of reasons

City of Salford (Sandwich Street and Holyoake Road, Walkden) (Prohibition of Waiting, Restriction of Waiting and Amendment) Order 2022

Vehicles are parking too close to the junction with Sandwich Street and Holyoake Road, near to access for the new development Fenman Mews Apartment Building, and on the bend at the junction with Chilham Road. Vehicles are also ignoring the road closure on Holyoake Road, at the junction with Chilham Road and driving between the bollards / over-running the footway.  

Therefore, it is proposed to implement waiting restrictions on the bend to maintain safe passage for vehicles negotiating the corner, and to ensure that pedestrian access crossing points are not blocked.  It is also proposed to install additional bollards to prevent further abuse of the road closure.  These measures will allow pedestrians to cross the road safely

Additionally, there have been difficulties gaining access for bin collections at Coniston House. Refuse wagons are having to reverse down the street to whilst undertaking collections. They also have difficulty collecting the bins between parked cars. This has the effect that the refuse wagon may be double parked whilst collections are carried out, blocking vehicles from access and exiting Fenman Mews Apartment Building.

Therefore, it is proposed:

• To revoke various existing restrictions on Sandwich Street and Holyoake Road and implement new revised waiting restrictions to support the current access requirements.
• To implement waiting restrictions at the junction of Holyoake Road and Chilham Road, to prevent inconsiderate and obstructive parking on the bend, creating a hazard to other road users.
• To provide additional restrictions on the north side of Holyoake Road outside Coniston House, to the end of the existing parking bay. This will ensure access to the Fenman Mews apartment building is maintained and will assist in refuse collections from Coniston House.
