Purpose

To consider the comments received following
the formal advertisement of proposed ‘Prohibition of Motor
Vehicles’ and ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ at Devizes
Road, Hilperton as part of an active travel scheme for the wider
Hilperton area.

Content

I approve that:
 
(i)       The current
proposals be implemented as advertised.
 
(ii)       The objectors be
advised accordingly.
 
 
This decision was
published on 8 April 2024 and will come into force on 16 April
2024.           

Reasons for the decision

It is proposed to implement the proposed
restriction as advertised. Removal of through traffic through the
introduction of a ‘Prohibition of Motor Vehicles’
creating a modal filter (and including the proposed ‘No
Waiting at Any Time) will ensure this route is lightly trafficked,
improving the environment for cyclists and pedestrians and
encouraging greater uptake of sustainable modes of travel. This, in
turn, has a wider benefit on public health and the environment.

Alternative options considered

To:
 

(i)            
Implement the proposals as advertised.
 

(ii)           
Abandon the proposals.
