Introduction 1.1 In March 2018, the One Trafford Partnership were requested to develop proposals for introducing Residents’ Parking Schemes (“RPS”) at various locations across Trafford in order to clear the current backlog of potential schemes. This request was predominately as a result of the large number of requests received from residents to deal with indiscriminate parking in residential areas across the Borough. 1.2 The One Trafford Partnership held a historical database of requests which totalled 60 as of March 2018, this number was subsequently analysed to determine if some schemes could be combined into area wide parking schemes. This exercise resulted in that number being reduced to 29. 1.3 A report was presented to the Executive in July 2018 where the following was approved: • Residents’ parking scheme programme; • Addition to the capital programme for 2018/19 and 2019/20, subject to resource; and • to delegate authority to the Corporate Director for Economic Growth, Environment and Infrastructure to make minor changes to the programme. 2. Initial Consultation 2.1 A “Councillor” and Trafford Council Officer consultation exercise was undertaken to seek member support for the schemes and to establish the need to proceed to a public “fact- finding” consultation. 2.2 Following member support a “fact-finding” questionnaire was developed and delivered to around 10,000 properties in 24 areas within the Trafford Borough to seek residents’ concerns relating to parking in the area they live. A dedicated area on Trafford’s website was also provided for residents to provide feedback including a ‘residentsparking’ email address. 3. Summary of Schemes and Recommendations 3.1 The results of the questionnaires is summarised in the table in Section 5 which also highlights the proposed way forward for each scheme. A large proportion of schemes based on the level of feedback, support and initial observations are proposed to progress to the next phase of the process. 3.2 The next phase of the process will involve developing detailed designs for residents parking solutions, further statutory consultation on proposed detailed designs and then implementation on site of the supported scheme. Schemes will be prioritised for statutory consultation across the borough during 2020/21. 3 3.3 Following analysis of the feedback of the problems experienced and observations it was considered that some scheme areas would benefit from a range of other measures including junction protection and parking restrictions to increase safety at junctions and on some stretches of highway. 3.4 Some schemes due to the lack of response or support for residents’ parking/measures are proposed to be removed from the programme. These schemes are also included in the summary table. There are also other schemes which are to be progressed as part of other programmes, and these are noted in the summary table as well. 4. Communications and Next Steps 4.1 The results of the questionnaires and suggested way forward for delivery will be initially communicated with local ward members. 4.2 The proposed programme of schemes will be published on the council website. Where residents have specifically been in touch or asked for updates, they will be contacted to inform them of the proposed way forward 4.3 Where schemes are proposed not to progress or are being proposed for reduced measures those residents will be contacted directly to inform them of the outcome and the reasons for the decision. 4.4 Delivery of the programme will involve, detailed parking surveys and design, statutory consultation, advertising etc. Subject to the results of the consultations, permit schemes would then be progressed further and then implementation on site if supported and have successfully made it through the Traffic Regulation Order process. The programme is proposed to be rolled out over the next 18 -24 months with implementation of the first wave of schemes likely to be at the end of 2020. 4.5 It should be noted that parking/waiting restriction schemes are provided through the legal mechanism of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) and are subject to the consideration of objections received by the Executive member for Environment, Air Quality and Climate Change. This could mean that schemes could potentially be amended or not go ahead. 4.6 Progress updates will be posted on the website during delivery of the programme. 4 5.
