Decision details

To:

(i)             Consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of the various Traffic Regulation Order (TRO hereafter) amendments in Salisbury.

(ii)            Recommend proceeding with the introduction of the TRO amendments as advertised.

INTENTION TO MAKE DECISION

Following consultation with officers I give notice that I intend to make the decision set out in the attached report.  If you would like to make any representations to me on this issue please do so by 10 May 2024.

Implementing the proposed TROs would support the delivery of the Fisherton Gateway project and contribute to improving Salisbury City Centre to help drive economic growth, improve the user experience and in so doing help to support the future sustainability of not only businesses operating in Fisherton Street and South Western Road but the wider city centre.

The proposals are in accordance with Themes 1, 3 and 4 in Wiltshire Council’s Business Plan 2022-2032. The proposals also help to deliver aspirations contained within the Council’s Salisbury Central Area Framework, Local Cycling and Walking Implementation Plan and Salisbury Transport Strategy.

To:

(i)       Implement the proposals as advertised.

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

(iii)      Abandon the proposals.

Consultation has been undertaken with:

·       The elected Wiltshire Council Members representing Salisbury Wards

·       The elected Salisbury City Council Members for all Salisbury Wards through the statutory TRO consultation process

·       Emergency services through the statutory consultation process

·       Members of the public through the statutory consultation process

TROs for the various amendments were formally advertised for comment on 14 December 2023. The Councils closing date for receipt of objections or other representations to the advertised TROs, together with the grounds on which they were made, was 15 January 2024.
