I approve the change to speed limits in
Monkton Farleigh as set out above and detailed in the attached
report.
 
This decision was published on 6 September
2024 and will come into effect on 16 September 2024.

Reasons for the decision

The proposal is intended to improve
road and pedestrian safety and to allay concerns of safety
expressed by residents by introducing the proposed speed limit
changes. This speed limit aligns with the Wiltshire Council policy

in accordance with both
outcome 2 and 3 of the Council’s Business
Plan.
