Residents of Millward Drive
We have been asked by residents and ward councillors to find out your views, comments, and suggestions on whether we should apply for ‘No Waiting Restrictions’ (double yellow lines) for the following section of road in Millward Drive:
- North/Inside curve between crossing point at start of Millward Drive and lamppost 8MD
The above location has been suggested following reports to us about parked vehicles causing a number of issues relating to safety:
1. Obstruction of view when negotiating this corner - risk of road traffic accident.
2. Parked cars on both sides of the road can make the road impassable for wide vehicles, preventing refuse collection and access for emergency service vehicles.
3. With cars parked densely on both sides of the road and partially on the pavement, pedestrian access is frustrated and puts the vulnerable (disabled people, parent & baby, schoolchildren) at greater risk.
Before any double yellow lines or signage may be placed here, a legal process to produce the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) must be completed first. This has more than one stage and could take several months to process but once in place, the restrictions may be legally enforced.
Any restrictions are enforced by the City Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs). They will have the authority to issue a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to the vehicle owner.
To submit an application, we need to show that there is majority support from the local community before the City Council’s Highways team will consider starting the TRO legal process.
If they do decide to proceed with the proposal, the legal process for a TRO will also include a Statutory Public Consultation stage, so you will be able to comment again or change your views at a later date if you wish.
Please give your feedback by clicking the button below. Deadline for this will be the 18 October 2024.
