WARD: Gorse Hill 1272 (12/17) TRAFFORD METROPOLITAN TRAFFORD METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL Report to: Executive Member for Highways, Parks and Environmental Services Date: February 2018 Report for: Approval Report of: Principal Engineer, Traffic and Transportation, One Trafford. WINGFIELD STREET, GORSE HILL, STRETFORD Proposed Disabled Residents’ Permit Parking Space – Consideration of objections. Summary To seek approval to introduce a disabled residents’ permit parking spaces on Wingfield Street, Gorse Hill, Stretford Recommendations Agreement is sought to the following: 1. That the results of the consultation be noted. 2. That, following careful consideration of the objections and comments received, the introduction of a disabled residents’ permit parking space on Wingfield Street, Gorse Hill, Stretford be approved. 3. That authorisation be given to make and implement the Traffic Regulation Order referred to in the schedule to this report, as advertised. 4. That the objectors be informed of the outcome, following consideration of the objections and comments received. Contact person for further information: Name: Dorothy Stagg Tel: 0161 6726534 Background Papers: None WARD: Gorse Hill 1272 (12/17) 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 A request has been received from a disabled resident of Wingfield Street, Gorse Hill, Stretford, who is a blue badge holder, for consideration to be given to the provision of a disabled persons’ permit parking space close to his property. 1.2 Wingfield Street is located within ‘Zone B’ of the Gorse Hill Residents’ Parking Scheme and, as such, will require an amendment to the Traffic Order, if a disabled permit parking space is to be introduced at this location. 1.3 The disabled parking spaces within ‘Zone B’ are designated ‘Zone C’ and are operative on a 24-hour basis. The permits issued to the disabled residents differ to those valid for match day restrictions although holders of ‘Zone C’ permits are also allowed to park in areas where match day restrictions apply. 1.4 The proposals were advertised and a consultation with nearby residents carried out. 2 letters of objection were received; 1a) This is a small street where most of the residents own a car, possibly 2. It is difficult enough at the best of times to find a parking space, let alone one outside your own home. A vast number of residents have no choice but to park at the bottom of the street. Permitting a disabled parking bay would add to the problem 1b) I don’t actually believe that the resident is disabled enough to require a disabled parking bay. I regularly see him without his stick then on other occasions walking with a limp using the stick. I believe this is an act. I have witnessed him up the ladder putting up his Christmas decorations. 2a) I appreciate everyone would like to park outside their own home and that is not always possible and we have to park at the end of the road and have to carry shopping. The applicant doesn’t consider others and will park across others so they can’t fit in. He will park right up to others cars so they can’t get out easily. Has hit my car a few times with his tow bar. 2b) The applicant walks his dog, fixes cars outside the house, puts up Christmas decorations outside the house using ladder as terraced houses are tall, also England flags for the football. Washes & hoovers vehicle outside the house – no problems, carries sofas & other heavy goods in & out of his vehicle – no problems. Goes to his caravan for weeks at a time – no one will be able to park there. Walked to Chester Road and then to Stretford Cenotaph with the Memorial procession, with a stick, but no problems whatsoever. This is not for daily living needs & tasks, it’s for convenience. 1.5 An assessment of the applicant’s needs has been carried out by the One Stop Resource centre and the comments are as follows: The applicant has been assessed under the terms of the Care Act 2014 with regard to access to their property. He has a substantial and permanent ambulatory disability, is a blue car badge holder and is unable to access their car, as a parking space in close proximity to the address cannot be found for a major portion of most days. Please can you arrange for a disabled marked parking bay to be processed through your department. 1.6 Chief Constable’s View: No issues from GMP 1.7 Chief Fire Officer’s View: No comments received 1.8 TfGM (P.T.E.) View: No comments received 1.9 Ambulance Service View: There are no objections to the proposals WARD: Gorse Hill 1272 (12/17) 1.10 Hackney Carriage Drivers/Operator Representative’s View: The Taxi Trade has no comments on this proposal 1.11 WARD COUNCILLORS’ COMMENTS: Councillor Cordingley: I note the objections with interest. Nevertheless, I realise I would have to go with the assessment from the One Stop Resource Centre as the authoritative assessment body. Will there be a review at any time despite the assessment of the condition being permanent? I’m not trying to impugn the One Stop Resource Centre but it would at least be more satisfactory for the objectors – Response: Blue Badge renewals are checked and, at that time, a second assessment could be requested, if appropriate. 2.0 CONCLUSIONS 2.1 In view of the nature of the streets within Gorse Hill and the demand for on-street parking, it is considered that the applicant would benefit from the introduction of disabled permit parking space that would allow him to park directly outside his home. 2.2 Despite the comments made by the objectors the advice of the One Stop Resource Centre has been sought and it is recommended that a disabled permit bay parking bay be introduced. 2.3 It is proposed therefore, to amend the Schedule to the Borough of Trafford (Prohibition of Waiting and Loading and Provision of Parking) Order 2001, as amended, so as to introduce a ‘Zone C’ parking space, at this location, and to invite the applicant to apply for the relevant permit.

(scheme ref 2473 – 9264387) Legal Implications: The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is being progressed in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Traffic Signs Regulations & General Directions 2016 and if implemented will be enforced by the Council’s Parking Services or be self enforcing. Equality/Diversity Implications none Sustainability Implications none Staffing/E-Government/Asset none Management Implications Risk Management Implications Risk of challenge to the High Court is low. Health and Safety Implications Improvements to the highway network will improve safety for all road users. Other Options Leaving out the proposed restrictions to which objections have been raised would be detrimental to resident amenity, highway safety and would also lead to obstruction for other road users. Consultation In addition to the statutory advertising the proposals have been the subject of direct consultation with all affected frontages and with local ward councillors. The consultation was also posted on-line during the consultation period. Reasons for Recommendation To enable the necessary parking restrictions to be introduced and enforced, to enhance resident amenity. Finance Officer Clearance MCJH (Mark Hughes for Technical Finance Manager) Legal Officer Clearance CK (Claire Kefford - Legal Services) CORPORATE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC GROWTH, ENVIRONMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE To confirm that the Financial and Legal Implications have been considered.

  • Central Ward
    Swindon Borough Council Open Space Audit and Assessment Update Part B: Ward Profiles March 2014 Open Space Audit and Assessment Update: Part B NOTES 1. For the purposes of assessing open space provision, the standard of 3.2 ha per 1000 population will be used as set out in the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2011 (saved policy R4 ‘Protection of Recreation Open Space’ (March 2011)). The draft Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026 seeks to continue this standard and will inform emerging work on Green Infrastructure. 2. This update has predominantly been prepared to reflect the ward boundary changes in 2012; data collated in May 2010 has therefore been used for this update to the open space ward profiles. 3. Outdoor sports facilities and playing pitches have not been updated since the review of the Playing Pitch Strategy in 2007. An update of the Playing Pitch Strategy will be undertaken in 2014. 4. All school playing fields and private pitches that do not have community access have been excluded from these profiles. 5. Playing pitches with community access are included within the overall totals for outdoor sports facilities. 6. Where country parks and golf courses exist, they have been listed in the Ward Profile schedules; however they do not contribute towards the open space standard as they are considered to be a Borough wide resource. 7. All population figures have been taken from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Census 2011. A SASPEC methodology was then used to align the data with the revised Swindon Borough ward boundaries. 8. The quality for each open space is illustrated through the use of the following colours: Quality Standard Scoring Range Colour Under Standard Under 49.99% At Standard 50% - 69.99% Above standard Above 70% 9.

FORMATION OF NEW VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM FRASER PLACE, ADDITIONAL AREAS OF HARDSTANDING AND ASSOCIATED LANDSCAPING WORKS ALSO. Electric Park, off Fraser Place Trafford Park APPLICANT: United Utilities AGENT: United Utilities RECOMMENDATION: GRANT SITE The application site relates to a vacant plot of land directly to the north of Fraser Place, which is broadly rectangular in shape and measures 0.715 hectares in size. It spans a length of some 115m, separating the complex of buildings relating to ‘Westmill Foods’ to the north, from the Fraser Place highway to the south. A 2m high paladin fence secures the southern boundary in its entirety and as a result presently prevents vehicular access onto the land. The application site represents the central section of what is in fact a wider undeveloped plot that covers 2.4 hectares. Consequently areas of open land directly adjoin the eastern and western boundaries of the application site. The site sits within the heart of Trafford Park, and the character of the surrounding area is typical of an industrial estate. Land on the southern side of Fraser Place is occupied by ‘Kellogg’s’, with its substantial vehicular entrance located directly opposite the application site. Other businesses of note in the vicinity include ‘Hovis’, whose premises sit to the north- east, and the aforementioned ‘Westmill Foods’ immediately to the north. The Bridgewater canal runs broadly north-south approximately 240m away to the east.

  • 'After Housing Costs' Child Poverty Rate from Highest to Lowest
    Notes: This spreadsheet ranks wards in Greater Manchester by their 'after housing costs' child poverty rate from highest to lowest. This is done using data published by End Child Poverty in 2019. The data also ranks areas based on the proportion of the population in a ward classified as black and minority ethnic (BAME) in census data. The higher the proportion of people who are BAME in a ward the higher the rank. This data shows that areas with the highest BAME populations in Greater Manchester are often the areas with the highest rates of child poverty.

  • Gorse Hill Primary Physical Education and School Sport 2021
    GORSE HILL PRIMARY PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SCHOOL SPORT 2021 (GORSE HILL WON ‘BEST LEADERSHIP AND SCHOOL GAMES VALUES AWARDS AT TRAFFORDS SCHOOL SPORTS AWARDS THIS YEAR) WE HAVE RETAINED THE PLATINUM GAMES MARK- THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARD POSSIBLE TO GET The government provides £150 million per year to provide new sport funding and improve the provision of Physical Education and Sports in Primary schools. The funding is ring fenced and can therefore only be spent on provision for PE and Sport in school. We will be held accountable for how we have used the premium to support participation and progress. The amount we were awarded this academic year for PE premium was £20,000 The amount we have actually spent is £21,811.07 this is due to the importance we place on the positive impact PE and School sport makes on our children’s wellbeing. At Gorse Hill Primary School, we understand and value the benefits of high quality Physical Education and School Sports and are passionate about increasing participation levels in healthy activity both in curriculum time and out of school hours. We believe in a holistic approach to the development of sport and physical activity for all. To raise participation and achievement for all pupils we encourage collaboration and partnership working within our local area (and further afield) to make the best use of resources and enhance PE and sports provision. Below is our plan to raise standards and participation levels in PE and sport. Our rationale for the use of the PE Premium funding is that it must be used so that:
