cDECISION MADE
 
I
approve that:
 
(i)   
The proposals at Castlefields be
abandoned.
 
(ii)  
All stakeholders be advised of
recommendations.
 
This decision was published on 8
December 2025 and will come into force on 16 December 2025.

Reasons for the decision

The intention of these waiting restrictions
was to help address road safety concerns raised to the Calne LHFIG
on behalf of Calne Town Council and the local community, by
improving visibility to junctions and access for residents, service
vehicles and emergency services.
 
The proposals are in accordance with
priorities 2 and 3 in Wiltshire Council’s Business Plan 2022
– 2032.
 
The proposals had the support of the locally
elected members, Calne Local Highway & Footway Improvement
Group and Area Board.
 
The residents who lodged objections all
expressed their concerns about parking opportunities and parking
for their visitors should the restrictions be implemented, stating
there is no current issue.
 
The Local Member has since withdrawn his
support for changes at this location. 

Alternative options considered

To:
 
(i)            
Implement the
proposals as advertised.
 
(ii)           
Implement the
proposals as advertised with amendments.
 
(iii)         
Abandon the
proposals.
