Decision details
Ketton parking restrictions
Decision Maker: Strategic Director for Places
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Line (markings) and associated traffic
management for Ketton parking restrictions
To make TRO according to proposal and implement.
The approach to be adopted by traffic authorities in considering
whether to make a TRO should be as follows:
(1) The decision-maker should have in mind the duty (at S.122 of
the 1984 Act) to secure expeditious, convenient and safe movements
of vehicular and other traffic including pedestrians in so far as
is practicable (NB this case also confirmed that
“traffic” extends to include pedestrians)
(2) The decision-maker should then have regard to factors which may
point in favour of imposing a restriction on that movement; such
factors will include the movement on the amenities of the locality
and other relevant factors including those set out at S.1 of the
1984 Act
(3) The decision-maker should then balance the various
considerations and come to the appropriate decision
Decision:
Following formal consultation, responses
received by RCC, several responses questioned the need for
restrictions as proposed and suggested elements outside the scope
of the proposal.

The purpose of the TRO is to benefit all highway users including
residents - helping with expeditious, convenient and safe movement,
especially in the context of a school area on an A road.
Factors the Council have considered which mean that a restriction
needs to be imposed are:
• a need to help with expeditious, convenient and safe
movement, especially in the context of a school area on an A
road.
• a need to prioritise access for residents
• displacement to intended unrestricted areas
It is recommended to make TRO as proposal there is no material
reason not to.
Other representations were made based on either personal preference
or inconvenience caused by the proposal but were not considered to
override the objective of providing a benefit to all highway
users.
Alternative options considered:
No action, but no action not
desired.
