Content

DECISION MADE
 

         
I approve
that:

 

(i)            
The
Council’s proposals be introduced as
advertised.

 

(ii)          
The correspondents who commented on the
Council’s proposals be informed accordingly.

 

         
This decision was published on Friday 2 August 2024 and will come
into force on Saturday 10 August 2024.
 

Reasons for the decision

Implementing the waiting
restrictions, would support the aim of the Council’s
proposals to relocate parking away from junctions in the vicinity
of the school to maintain visibility for pedestrians and motorists
using them; and, to relocate parking away from the school accesses
to make it safer for pedestrians to both use the footways and cross
the road in the immediate vicinity of the school.
 
As no comments were received
opposing the introduction of the 20mph zone there is no reason not
to proceed with its implementation, particularly given that the
introduction of a lower speed limit in the vicinity of the school
is supported by both the Parish Council and the school.
 
The proposals are in accordance
with Themes 1 and 4 in Wiltshire Council’s Business Plan
2022-2032.

Alternative options considered

To:

(i)           
Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)         
Amend the proposals in consideration of the comments
received.

(iii)        
Abandon the proposals.
