The proposed restrictions were to act as junction protection to mitigate the impact of potentially obstructive parking on and around the junction, hindering access to refuse lorries and resulting in multiple missed bin collections.
The proposed restrictions would assist in ensuring the safe passage of refuse vehicles and emergency service vehicles, and to benefit the safety for all road users in this location.
This scheme was proposed on the grounds of road safety.
