A one-way system in Swinton is being ignored by road users in the community after being put in place in October.
The signs were put in place in October, with Park Street being split up into two one-way systems – with both access points in the middle at Victoria Avenue.
Residents who live in the area believe that the one-way system in the street has been a good idea, to prevent damage to cars parked along the road.
However, it seems to be ignored by road users, as Councillor of Swinton Heather Fletcher said: “This matter has been going for many years, with people on Park Street constantly getting their cars damaged.”
The Swinton Councillor continued to share that residents who had an issue with the changes to the street had the chance to object back in October.
Cllr Fletcher said: “Everyone was given a chance to object when the matter came before the Traffic Advisory panel on 9th October.
“We have put traffic enforcers in place to catch those who are going the wrong way.”
The traffic issues were dealt with by Chair of Community and Neighbourhoods Scrutiny Panel, Coucnillor Stuart Dickman, over the past few years – however, he was unavailable for comment.
And with the road signs being ignored by other residents, those who lived on Park Street issued their concerns over how the road is being accessed.
One residents said: “Some people have missed the instructions, and there are people in the area making them aware.”
Whilst others continued to voice their opinions here –
And the confusion amongst residents still is apparent, as another Salford resident Caroline Diana, who almost drove the way along Park Street said: “I managed to turn around. I think it’s a good thing (the one way) for the residents especially as it’s their cars that get damaged.”
