Allderidge Avenue TRO consulation

John Fareham and John Abbott urge all residents of Allderidge Avenue to take part in the forthcoming consultation exercise on a traffic regulation order for Allderidge Avenue only. Residents will recall the earlier consultation exercise on a wider traffic regulation order introducing resident parking over a wide radius around Wyke College and Kelvin Hall School, the rationale being that anything smaller would have led to a process of attrition as the exclusion zone around both establishments was set ever wider to deal with successive sets of knock-on effects. To say that this idea failed to find widespread favour would be an understatement, but we did undertake at the time to offer Allderidge Avenue its own resident parking scheme if the big scheme failed to find favour. The consultation exercise is expected to take place in the near future and we encourage all local residents with a view either way on resident parking here to express it when they get the chance. Blocks of flats on the YPI front so far are a dead issue, however 8 “houses” could easily produce 32 adults, and more would be possible. In the current financial climate we just managed to find funds to keep our promise; it is not likely to be consulted or acted on again for a few years.
