We advise all residents who live close to the permit zone, that may be returning ​home after 19:00 on show days to carry your resident permit (if applicable) or proof of address.  This will ensure you can access closures, when it is safe to do so, to return to your home. 

​

Lakeside Rise 

Lakeside Rise is not within the resident parking permit zone. However we advise residents who are returning to Lakeside Rise in vehicles after 19:00 on 13th, 14th and 15th June, to bring proof of address as you may be asked to show this to gain access to the entrance road. This is to prevent taxis and other vehicles accessing Lakeside Rise and using this area for waiting.
 

Victoria Avenue 

On Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June a one-way system will be in place on Victoria Avenue with traffic only being able to travel in a westbound direction (towards Middleton Road).   Please note: this system will not be in operation for the Friday night concert on 13th June. 

This operation will run from 19:00 until 02:00. The extent of this will be from the junction of Tweedle Hill Road and Victoria Avenue to the junction of Middleton Road.  Signs and traffic management equipment will be in place to support this operation.  As residents, access will be maintained only when safe to do so. We ask that you follow all signage, the road layout, and adhere to any instructions and directions given from the stewards or police.   Any properties whose frontages lead directly onto Victoria Avenue will need to exit left and then use Cudworth Road then onto Broomhall Road to exit. Please note that this is the dedicated emergency access route and shuttle bus lane so proceed with caution.  

 

Residents to the north of Victoria Ave

Anyone who lives on the Northern side of Victoria Avenue will need to use Heaton Park Road to exit the area. At the junction with Victoria Avenue, there will be a managed crossing operation to Broomhall Road. You are able to use Victoria Avenue however you will need to stay in the flow of vehicles heading westbound towards Middleton Road. 

Residents around the Munn Road area won't be able to leave via Acre Top Road but will need to use the Munn Road / Victoria Avenue junction. Here, onward travel can be in either a west or eastbound direction. 

For those that live off Deanswood Drive, exiting from this area is strictly on a right turn only to head west on Victoria Avenue and then follow the system on Middleton Road northbound towards the M60.

 

Crab Lane

Crab lane and the adjoining streets (including Monteagle Street, Churchdale Road, Bradney Close, Stowfield Close, Poolton Road and the upper section of Longhurst Road) will be in the resident parking permit zone in 2025. A road closure will be implemented at the junction of Crab Lane and Chapel Lane from 19:00 – 01:00 during Parklife on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June.   This is to address issues with congestion reported in 2024 due to the one way system on Victoria Avenue. Residents will need to show their permit or other proof of address to access the closure after 19:00. The road closure will not be implemented on Friday 13th June, as the one way system is not in operation for this concert.
