City of Stoke-on-Trent (Traffic Regulation) (Waterside Drive) (No.2) Order, 2023. Statement of Reasons These proposals are intended to remove the inconsiderate parking that occurs around the school pedestrian and vehicular entrances onto Waterside Drive. Following the unfortunate fatality that occurred last year the police report indicated that additional measures needed to be looked at to create better pedestrian visibility and reduce the vehicle/pedestrian conflict that could occur.

It appears to the City Council that it is expedient to promote this Traffic Regulation Order, in order to prevent danger to persons or other traffic using the road to which the order relates and prevent the likelihood of any such danger arising. 6
