Decision details

The Council made the following order on behalf of the developer, Hazelton Homes (Midlands) Ltd, to introduce No Waiting At Any Time restrictions on St Mary’s Road, Market Harborough.
Due to the new access road serving The Welland Quarter residential development, it is necessary to revoke the existing Limited Waiting Parking Bays (2 hours, no return within 1 hour, Monday – Saturday 8am-6pm, except for resident’s parking permit holders) and replace them with No Waiting At Any Time restrictions. These changes are required to ensure safe and unobstructed access to and from the new development.
The introduction of No Waiting At Any Time restrictions at the following locations: Old School Mews at its junction with Fairfield Road, Market Harborough, to prevent obstructive parking at the junction and ensure visibility is maintained for pedestrians and motorists; and Fairfield Road, Market Harborough, to remove the existing advisory protective entrance marking (H-Bar) and introduce No Waiting At Any Time restrictions along the on-carriageway cycle lane section. This will ensure the route remains unobstructed and accessible for cyclists.
This scheme is being introduced on the grounds of road safety.

To implement No Waiting At Any Time Restrictions and the Revocation of Limited Waiting Bays on St Mary's Road, Market Harborough, and to implement No Waiting At Any Time Restrictions on Old School Mews and Fairfield Road, Market Harborough.
