Executive Member for the Environment

Dionne Conlan, who lives in Manchester, asked:

I live in Whalley Range and work in Northern Moor. I cycle to work and I know the Council are keen for staff to cycle. My concerns are that I use the cycle route through Chorlton Water Park and Kenworth Wood. This route is unlit and I would like to know are there any plans for lighting in these areas to encourage people to use these routes. I will not feel safe in the winter months and would have to use a car as public transport would be to time consuming and would have to leave home earlier and would not see my son in the mornings. Is there as list of lit cycle routes I could have?

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Transport, replied:

Thank you for your enquiry regarding lighting of off-road cycle tracks. I am very pleased to hear that you are cycling to work. Manchester City Council wants as many people as possible to use a sustainable mode of transport to improve air quality, and reduce carbon emissions and congestion on our roads. But we also recognise that whilst there are many benefits including saving money and keeping fit, it is not always easy. In the bigger picture, if more people cycle more regularly, it will justify more spending on facilities. We do our best to encourage cycling in Manchester by providing facilities on the most popular routes. I have recently visited Copenhagen, which is a buzzing, modern city like Manchester: I was very impressed with their cycling lanes and the fact that more than one in three people use their bike to get to work in the city.

I'm afraid that currently there are no plans to light existing off-road routes such as the one you have identified through Chorlton Water Park, as this route is considered to be mainly used as a recreational cycling route. Priority is given to routes which are considered to be mainly used by commuter cyclists such as the 'Black Path' in Wythenshawe which links Wythenshawe town centre via three schools to Manchester Airport, and which has shift workers using the track at various time of the day and night.

I understand your concerns about using unlit routes as the days have been getting shorter. An alternative lit route from Whalley Range to Northern Moor would be via Regional Cycle Route 85 which follows an off-road shared use path alongside Princess Road to Barlow Moor Road where it follows a signed route via Rowsley Avenue, Darley Avenue, Craigmore Avenue, Borrowdale Crescent, Craigmore Avenue and Mersey Crescent. Continue on the cycle track under the M60 to Kenworthy Lane and left onto Yew Tree Lane to a pedestrian bridge over Princess Parkway to Northern Moor. An alternative return route would be via the cycle track on the west side of Princess Parkway to Merseybank Avenue and through to Maitland Avenue near Chorlton Water Park's entrance.

New cycle maps have recently been produced of various types of cycle routes in Manchester and are available free from Tourist Information in St. Peter's Square and soon available at the Greater Manchester cycling website http://www.cyclegm.org/. The routes do not distinguish lit and unlit routes but do identify on road / traffic free / signed routes including Regional Route 85 and advisory routes. Identification of lit traffic free routes will be a useful addition for future editions of the map. Happy cycling!

John Watson who lives in Manchester, asked:

Why has the commemorative plaque to Lord Ernest Rutherford been removed from 409 (or very close to that number) Wilmslow Road? It was there for tens of years. Rutherford was physics professor at Manchester 1907-1919, during which period he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1908 and was knighted in 1914.He achieved an eminent international reputation, not since achieved by any Manchester scientist. He went on to even greater things in Cambridge and at the Royal Society. Why should his former residence in Manchester no longer be remembered?

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your question.

The only City Council plaque to Lord Rutherford that is within the previous system (we no longer have funding or staff resources to provide new plaques) is located on the Museum Building on Oxford Road. It has the number 61 in the series.

I'm afraid we have no knowledge or record of a plaque on Wilmslow Road, however, I understand that the University are currently considering either replacing or re-wording the existing plaque and/or adding a second plaque on the re-named Rutherford Building (at their expense). I hope this information is useful to you.

Naomi Gardner who lives in Manchester, asked:

Please can someone make me aware if there are any plans to improve the parking facilities at the row of shops (including Spar) on Victoria Avenue? I feel that this is such a busy area that the quality and quantity of existing parking is sub-standard.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your question about parking on Victoria Avenue.

Officers from Engineering Services visited the site on Friday 3rd November and agreed with you that the available parking is limited and noted that the overspill is resulting in some vehicles parking illegally on Tweedle Hill Road.

Further investigation has revealed that the section of access road in question is in private ownership. Unfortunately this means that as a highway authority we have limited powers to address the current situation.

The traffic problems were looked into back in 2001 and proposals were drawn up at that time for a one-way street traffic order. Unfortunately this required approval from the owners of the road and this could not be obtained. Consequently, the proposals were not pursued any further.

However, as a result of you drawing this problem to my attention, our Traffic Section will be investigating the overspill of vehicles on to Tweedle Hill Road and Manchester Parking will be undertaking enforcement action. Also all of the issues you have raised will be discussed at the next Ward Co-ordination meeting where local Councillors and other stakeholders will consider what options are available to improve the current situation.

Paul Keeble, who lives in Manchester, asked

On September 3rd I came across a leaflet describing an Ardwick Residential Parking Scheme, due to be implemented in Spring 2007. The deadline for the enclosed questionnaire was Sept 1. The 5 'Groves' where I live are not included in the scheme (Area 3 comes as far as Carmoor Road) so perhaps that is why I didn't find out about it sooner.

Two issues:

1. We had problems in the Groves during the building of the new MRI car park with hospital workers, contractors and patients parking here (we believe the hospitals actually sent their contractors a map detailing local free on-street parking). We raised this with our local Councillors and they made noises about a public meeting, though nothing more came of it. Since the opening of the car park the problem has improved somewhat (though some still prefer to park here for free), however I am concerned that once the Area 3 resident parking scheme comes into force it will simply push more cars into the Groves again as the next nearest 'free parking' streets. I would like more information on the scheme, in particular to know what the thinking was behind the drawing up of the Area 3 boundaries, and on the pros and cons of Residential Parking schemes in general.
2. The reason I am contacting you is that four phone calls to the number on the back of the leaflet (455 2040) between Sept 4 and 18 have resulted in four promises to get back to me. But no one has. Why? I am also puzzled why our local Councillors made no mention of the scheme during our previous correspondence about parking here.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your question.

As a result of concerns expressed by residents and councillors regarding commuter parking, it is proposed to introduce a residents parking scheme within the Ardwick area. A successful residents parking pilot scheme was introduced in October 2005 within the Whitekirk Close area of Ardwick and it is now proposed to extend the area that this covers.

Areas were identified where the levels of on-street commuter parking were at their greatest. Unfortunately the Groves are not currently included in this area. Site surveys indicated that whilst there is significant competition for on-street car parking spaces within the Groves, these vehicles appear to be predominantly owned by local residents.

Nevertheless, it is intended to monitor parking patterns in the months following implementation of the scheme in order to identify whether there has been any displacement of commuter parking into adjacent residential areas. Should this be the case then solutions to any such issues will be investigated.

Toby Williamson, who lives in Manchester, asked:

I want to make a complaint about a taxi driver / firm - I use taxis regularly to do the airport trip, and used a new firm 2 weeks ago - they massively overcharged me and refused to use the meter or give me a receipt. How do I go about lodging a complaint?

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

I understand that this enquiry relates to a Private Hire Operator. Although Private Hire Operators are licensed by the City Council, fares charged are not set by the City Council but are left to market forces. The only requirement placed on Private Hire Operators in respect of their fare structure is that every private hire vehicle operated by them must carry a copy of the current fare card for public inspection and also that this fare card must be lodged with the Licensing Unit of the City Council. Any changes to the fare structure must also be communicated to the City Council.

It is not a requirement that a Taximeter is used in a Private Hire vehicle. It is permissible to use the odometer to show the mileage actually run and then refer to the fare chart. However, the driver of a Private Hire vehicle should provide a receipt for the journey if requested by the hirer.

I understand that the fare charged for this particular journey was shown to be in accordance with the current fare charges for this particular operator, so you were not overcharged.

Complaints about Private Hire and Hackney Carriage Drivers should be made in writing to:

Manchester City Council
Licensing Unit
Room 1012
Town Hall Extension
Manchester
M60 2LA

or alternatively by e-mail at: licensing@manchester.gov.uk

Brett Baxter, who lives in Manchester, asked:

Are there any planning constraints on fitting solar installations? What objects if any do you have, and do you endorse any particular systems?

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and the Environment, replied:

Manchester City Council welcomes and encourages the use of renewable technologies. Our city is leading the way in this field; you may have seen publicity about the largest array in the country of photovoltaic cells on the Co-op tower and the recent planning consent for a full-size wind turbine at the City of Manchester Stadium. At the current time I would suggest you contact the Planning Service (telephone 0161 234 4516) to discuss any proposals you may have as you may need planning permission. However, in the near future we anticipate that the Government, in reviewing the householder planning applications regime, will make the installation of micro-generation equipment 'permitted development'. This will mean that a range of such equipment will not require planning permission, subject to certain safeguards. I'm afraid we cannot endorse any particular systems, manufacturers or suppliers.

Chris Poyner, who lives in Manchester, asked:

I would like to know about any prospective developments for the Metrolink to Didsbury. Is this likely to be progressed and if so, what is the route it will take?

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive member for Planning and Environment, has replied

The Metrolink expansion is being implemented in two stages. The first phase (3a) will extend the network to Oldham and Rochdale, Droylsden in Tameside, and Chorlton in South Manchester. The second phase of the expansion (3b) will take Metrolink into Oldham and Rochdale town centres as well as to Ashton-under-Lyne, East Didsbury and Manchester Airport. As announced on 6 July, the funding for Phase 3a of the Metrolink expansion has now been secured. A bid to secure funding for Phase 3b will be submitted to the Government's Transport Innovation Fund (TIF) in July next year and further details about this will be available later this year. It is anticipated that a successful TIF bid will enable the two stages to be implemented in one integrated process.

With regard to its route, the East Didsbury line will follow the former railway alignment, passing under Princess Road, Burton Road, Palatine Road, Wilmslow Road, School Lane, Parrs Wood Road and Kingsway. Stops are planned for Withington (adjacent to Princess Road), Burton Road, West Didsbury (near to the Northern Lawn Tennis Club), Didsbury Village (School Lane) and on the east side of Kingsway at East Didsbury.

Mrs S Craig, who lives in Manchester, asked:

I live in Collyhurst Manchester. I live above shops and have done for 30 odd years. Three of the shops, just do not clear up outside their shops each time of closing, leaving rubbish which comes from their shops, two are takeaways, one an off licence, and food shop. I thought by law now they are supposed to leave area clean or face heavy fines?

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

You are correct in stating that the law can require shops selling food or drink to keep the area outside their shop free from litter and refuse. Where they do not, the City Council can issue a Street Litter Control Notice specifying the shop owner clear the immediate area around their business on a regular basis. Failure to adhere to such a notice can lead to the shop or business being prosecuted and fined.

I have asked your local Street Environment Manager for the Cheetham Ward, to visit Eastford Square at different times to specifically look at the shops there, remind businesses of their obligations to the local community and serve notices where appropriate.

I have asked that he updates you of progress and I am sure he would welcome feedback from you in relation to the local environment following his visits.

Thomas Muldoon, who lives in Manchester, asked:

Why around the South Manchester area are there no road signs directing or alerting drivers to the Moss Nook area? A lot of new signs have gone up recently, showing directions various other areas and districts. I think it would be helpful to local residents, businesses and their visitors.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

As part of the Wythenshawe Signage Strategy we have taken the opportunity to include local destinations for which signage was poor or non-existent. There were already a few signs to Moss Nook that pre-date the latest signage: there is one on the exit from the Motorway and another one on Ringway Rd.

Also you will be pleased to know that as part of highways developments around the Airport due to take place in the medium term future, signage in the area will be reassessed again.

P Paulden, who lives in Manchester, asked:

I am writing to you with regard to a problem with parent parking outside the back of Trinity High School.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

I share your concerns about the general safety problems of child pedestrians crossing roads on their routes to schools and would thank you for bringing to my attention the particular problem of parking at the back of Trinity High School.

The Council are working with schools to introduce a variety of measures to make the journey to school safer including travel plans, 20 mph zones around schools and physical measures to make the routes to schools safer. School crossing patrols are provided in locations were there is a lot of traffic and large numbers of children, particularly primary school age children, crossing the roads. An advisory 20mph zone was installed around the school as part of the Council's 2005/06 20mph programme.

Following your previous contact with the Council raising your concerns about the lack of a school crossing patrol, a census was conducted and although there are a lot of children crossing it is felt that there were sufficient gaps in the traffic to allow high school children to cross safely.

With regard to the other problem you raised about parents parking dangerously and illegally, there are two things we can do to assist;. firstly through education of the parents about the problems and secondly by parking enforcement.

We have contacted the head teacher who agreed to distribute leaflets prepared by the Council to all parents, to highlight the dangers of parking on the zigzag road markings. We will invite the school to prepare a school travel plan which should highlight any parking problems and encourage parents not to drop off their children by car but to use public transport or to walk or cycle to school where possible.

On enforcement, in June and July 144 parking warden visits were made to the beat area (which includes the school) and 100 tickets have been issued. If, despite this and the leaflet distribution, the parking problem continues this term, I will ask the parking wardens to pay particular attention to the area.

Andy, who lives in Manchester, asked:

 

I've noticed the pay and display machines in the city centre now don't have any information concerning payment on bank holidays, the ones I've seen just give details for Monday to Saturday.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your question.

The On Street Pay and Display parking bays operate Monday to Saturday from 08.00 to 18.00 hours. This is advertised on all machines and on the Control Parking Zone entry signs. There is no charge on Sundays or designated Bank Holidays.

Linda Delaney, who works in Manchester, asked:

Why are you closing Cross Street and Corporation Street to buses, thus forcing me to walk to and from Piccadilly, Albert Square or Spring Gardens (I can only use Victoria Station to get to Manchester)?

How integrated an approach to public transport is this? The disruption to my journey is exactly the same as that which the IRA bomb produced for many unhappy months. If I take the tram, I still can't get further than Peter Square. Please don't wreak havoc in this way. I guess you feel buses could use Deansgate but that's already badly congested.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your question about the closure of Cross Street and Corporation Street.

The decision to close parts of Cross Street and Corporation Street on an experimental basis to all traffic except Metroshuttle buses between 11am and 7 pm was taken to reduce the unacceptably high number of road traffic accidents at the junction of Market Street and Cross Street / Corporation Street. There were forty collisions at this junction between 2000 and 2004 resulting in forty-three casualties. Thirty of these involved collisions between buses and pedestrians. Many of the buses using the route had relatively few passengers on board and were simply accessing a turning facility close to Victoria Station. The decision had considerable support from the major retailers in the area.

We are closely monitoring the impact of the changes before taking a decision in 2007 on whether or not to make the change permanent. The monitoring exercise will evaluate what change there has been in accident levels as well as the implications of the proposals for pedestrians/bus passengers and for the wider city centre environment and economy. The City Council will consider the results of the monitoring exercise, along with the views expressed by users of the city centre, in deciding whether to make the change permanent.

We recognise that the changes have meant that some people are having to walk further to catch their bus. The Metroshuttle service caters for the needs of many passengers and provides a direct connection between the heart of the shopping area and Victoria/Shudehill. We will consider whether any further any further amendments may be required in the future to improve city centre connections.

As the City Centre continues to develop and grow, it is essential that the public transport system keeps pace with the increased demands being placed on it. The investment made by the City Council and GMPTA in the Shudehill Transport Interchange is evidence of the commitment to upgrading public transport facilities. We recognise that more needs to be done and will continue to work with GMPTE/A and transport operators to ensure that Manchester has the quality public transport system that its people need and deserve.

In response to the issue you raise, the hugely successful Metroshuttle bus service provides a free, frequent and accessible way of reaching all parts of the City Centre whilst another useful initiative allows the free use of the Metrolink in the city centre for rail users who have purchased their ticket within Greater Manchester. There is however always room for further improvement, and we will continue to work with all transport operators to better integrate public transport across the city.

Sarah Evans, who lives in Manchester, asked:

Hi. I've been looking up the need for a busking licence and I can't find any information relating to Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, do you need a licence to busk in Chorlton or does the 2003 act only apply in Manchester city centre? Could you also let me know how you find out what are the free pitching areas in the city centre? If you could also direct me or inform me of how much a licence would be for both Chorlton and the city centre and how you obtain one I'd be really grateful, Thank you, Sarah.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your recent question via the Council's website regarding a busking licence for Chorlton. I am sorry for the delay in responding.

I am keen to encourage good quality street entertainment because it makes our city more attractive and enjoyable. However, under the Licensing Act 2003, which came into force on 24 November 2005, busking is classed as regulated entertainment. To undertake regulated entertainment, the premises concerned (which can include a street or other open space) must be licensed. This applies to all areas so includes both the city centre and Chorlton.

The good news for buskers is that we have already licensed some parts of the City Centre, so busking can take place in these areas with the permission of the licence holder:

Albert Square St Ann's Square Exchange Square New Cathedral Street Great Northern Square Cathedral Gardens Market Street Lincoln Square Castlefield Roman Fort (incl Castlefield Green)

The licence is held by Manchester City Council's Events Department and you should contact Mr M Parrott (m.parrott@manchester.gov.uk) if you wish to seek permission to busk in one of these areas.

If you wanted to busk in areas not currently covered by a premises licence then currently you would have to apply for a premises licence yourself. You must be aged 18 or over. You would have to complete an application form and an operating schedule which you would send to the Licensing Unit at Manchester City Council.

I will be discussing with the relevant Council officers whether Manchester City Council should license other areas of the city, including Chorlton.

Susan Atherton, who lives and works in Manchester, asked:

You began works on the Mancunian Way more than a month ago, near the Chorlton Underpass.

Well, I say "began works". What I actually mean is, you closed off one lane of traffic, resulting in tailbacks and traffic jams trailing further and further back every day (last Friday they had reached Trinity Way at rush hour, but who knows where they'll be today), meaning that it now takes me 25 minutes to do a section of my daily commute that used to take less than two minutes, traffic lights permitting. However, the lane closure seems largely to have had no purpose whatsoever, as I have seen nothing - not a workman, not a sign, not a piece of equipment - turn up in the last month.

I simply cannot understand why you have closed off a section of road barely 20 feet long and then apparently left it like that, when this decision has caused delays and traffic congestion for weeks. Although the actual coned-off section is very small, people are obediently getting into the left hand lane much earlier, meaning that although two lanes should be used to keep the traffic moving, only one is being used.

From what I can see, this has also led to congestion on Peter St/Oxford Rd towards Deansgate, as people try to find an alternative route. Since Deansgate and its connecting streets are busy enough at rush hour, I can't imagine that this problem is helping things.

Perhaps the road has been closed because it needs re-strengthening, and isn't safe for use until works have taken place (in which case, a little signage wouldn't go amiss). Perhaps your workmen are too bone idle to get over there and do whatever works you require doing (in which case, I know plenty of builders who hold to the quaint ideal of actually doing what they're being paid to do one). Perhaps you're just wasting my time and taxes by closing off roads for fun (in which case, perhaps I should simply take the large amounts of money my family and I pour into this beautiful city's economy elsewhere). Whatever the reason, I would truly appreciate a response to this email, with hopefully some sort of satisfactory explanation to what is going on on Mancunian Way.

Please forgive the antagonistic tone, but ever since my daily traveling time doubled, I've found myself running increasingly short of patience as well as leisure time.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your question about the works currently being undertaken on the Mancunian Way. I fully understand the frustration of drivers experiencing delays on this important road.

The works being undertaken on the Mancunian Way involve the replacement of the parapet. This is the barrier at the side of the carriageway which prevents vehicles from crashing off the elevated section onto the highways below. It is the original parapet and it no longer meets current safety standards.

Last year similar works were undertaken to replace the parapets on the westbound carriageway. These essential safety works will complete the parapet renewal and help to ensure that vehicles are retained on the elevated section in an emergency.

The eastbound parapet renewal commenced on 16th March and it will be completed by early September 2006. The contractor undertaking the works is the same one as successfully completed the westbound works. The use of the same contractor has helped to ensure that the current works are progressing as quickly as possible as many of the problems on this phase were encountered and resolved previously.

Safety of the operatives undertaking the works and of highway users is of paramount importance when undertaking any works of this nature. The traffic management arrangements implemented as part of this scheme have been designed to ensure the works can be undertaken as safely as possible whilst ensuring traffic disruption is minimized.

With regards to your specific concerns. You are correct in observing that an area was coned off in which no-one was working. The reasons for this are as follows :

At the beginning of the elevated section of the Mancunian Way the nearside lane was closed for works to strengthen the verge and replace the parapets. In order to direct traffic past this obstruction in the nearside lane the traffic was firstly forced into single file by closing the offside lane in advance of the works and then bringing the single file traffic from the nearside lane into the offside lane at the obstruction. The closure of the offside lane in order to merge the traffic into a single file is where there was coning with no works going on behind them. This arrangement is established practice for traffic to safely manoeuvre around the works on this class of road.

However in advance of the works there was a further complication with the slip road from Chester Road Roundabout forming an extra lane for a short distance. It was decided, in consultation with the police and others, that traffic should be in a single lane prior to the addition of this extra lane. This would limit the number of traffic manoeuvres happening on the same section of road. This was why the coning began in the underpass at Chester Road, to force traffic from the offside into the nearside lane prior to the joining of the slip road from the roundabout.

You will be aware that significant progress has been achieved since you raised this issue. Traffic management arrangements have been amended to allow parapet replacement works on the next section to proceed. As previously noted, the works are being undertaken to ensure disruption is minimized.

Wendy May, who lives and works in Manchester, asked:

How do we go about obtaining resident's parking for Tenby Avenue in Withington? We have written to local councillor but to date have had no response. I am thinking of moving house because I can't park in my own road due to Christie's Hospital employees taking up the available spaces.

Councillor Neil Swannick, Executive Member for Planning and Environment, replied:

Thank you for your question about residents parking for Tenby Avenue in Withington.

As I am sure you appreciate, car ownership continues to increase and this translates into tremendous pressure on kerbside space for residents in many areas throughout the city especially where residents do not have off-street parking space. The problem is particularly acute where there is a major attractor such as a hospital, a shopping centre or a major employer.

A traffic management scheme was implemented in the area around Christie Hospital approximately 2 years ago and included the provision of numerous parking restrictions, which were aimed at ensuring improved accessibility for all road users and maintaining access to parking places for local residents.

Whilst I sympathise with your parking problems, the implementation of a resident parking scheme is not straightforward. There can be issues relating to the number of permits to be issued due to the constraints of available kerbside space and the space available to visitors to the area. The kerbside space must be managed in such a way that we do not create large areas of highway that are left empty for long periods of the day when there is such a high demand for the space.

A similar problem to yours, in this case due to visitors and commuters to the MRI, the Universities and City Centre, has led to worsening problems for residents in the Ardwick ward of Manchester and as a result it is planned to trial a new resident parking scheme. The scheme will involve a mix of resident-only parking, pay and display spaces and limited waiting restrictions.

Because residents are usually unwilling to pay for a resident parking scheme, it is important that when a scheme is introduced it will generate sufficient income to ensure that the management of the scheme and enforcement can be maintained. It is expected that the results of the Ardwick trial will assist in the development of future resident parking schemes across Manchester.

We are in regular contact with Christie Hospital regarding the traffic management issues associated with staff and visitor parking and have recently assisted in the delivery of a Green Travel Plan which aims to reduce the impact of parking in the area. We will continue to work with the hospital and raise the concerns of local residents at these meetings.

Thank you for your ongoing patience regarding this matter.
