BACKGROUND 1.1 Gorse Hall Road, Dukinfield is within a 20 mph zone but otherwise does not have any traffic calming features or parking restrictions. The section of Gorse Hall Road which is subject to proposed parking restrictions is on a considerable incline and is near to significant bends in the road. Since the development of Beatrix House, a supported housing scheme, the residents situated opposite have had complaints about obstructive parking. 1.2 Beatrix House is an extra care housing facility which is managed by New Charter Homes Ltd. It is situated on an otherwise residential street with some local shopping provision around the corner on Oak Tree Drive. Beatrix House comprises thirty-one, one and two bedroom flats and has its own off street parking facilities. The majority of residential properties that it faces on Gorse Hall Lane have driveways which were provided by New Charter during the development of Beatrix House. 1.3 When Beatrix House was built in 2011 Trief kerbing was used along part of the frontage to the development with the intention to dissuade parking. There are parking facilities within Beatrix House and an additional car parking area was created on land adjacent to the development. However, residents in the properties opposite regularly struggle to exit their driveways as a result of parked cars in the area. 1.4 Consequently a scheme to introduce ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions on the area of highway fronting Beatrix House has been proposed. These would prevent visitor parking along the frontage to the home, leaving the area clear for emergency vehicles that have to regularly attend the scheme (emergency vehicles have an exemption for parking in restricted areas within the legal order).

Annual Report for 2009‐10 A Report B Grimsditch, Dr M Nevell & S Mitchell Report No: 03/2010 Centre for Applied Archaeology CUBE University of Salford 113‐115 Portland Street Manchester M1 6DW Tel: 0161 295 3818 Email: [email protected] Web: www.cfaa.co.uk Introduction 2009 proved to be a year of change and re-focus for the Tameside Archaeological Survey. In July the University of Manchester Archaeology Unit closed necessitating the transfer elsewhere of the long running research project, which had been founded in 1990 with Tameside MBC funding. The new home of the survey project from September 2009 is the Centre for Applied Archaeology at the University of Salford. The new Centre is based at the University of Salford's CUBE Gallery on Portland Street, Manchester, and is staffed by Dr Michael Nevell, Brian Grimsditch and Adam Thompson, all of whom have a long association with Tameside’s archaeology and history. This newly established research unit will investigate archaeological sites, historic buildings and industrial heritage in Tameside and across the North West, giving local communities opportunities to take part in actual excavations. The Tameside Archaeological Survey will be one of the flagship research projects for the Centre over the next five years. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Salford, Professor Martin Hall, welcomed the new Centre stating that "The Centre's work is critical for preserving the region's urban fabric. It will also act as a dynamo for an army of volunteers from school kids to pensioners who'll turn out to work on sites.
