I approve that:

This decision was published on 28 June 2024 and will come into force on 8 July 2024.          

Alterations to the speed limits on the A4 at Studley, Calne Without are proposed in response to concerns raised by the Calne Local Highways and Footway Improvement Groups (LHFIG) on behalf of Calne Without Parish Council (CWPC) and the local community. The assessment has been completed in accordance with the relevant Department for Transport guidance and the proposals meet the expectation of this.

To:

(i)       Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)       Implement the proposals as advertised with amendments.

(iii)      Abandon the proposals.

The draft TROs were consulted upon between 7 December 2023 and 8 January 2024. This was an extended period due to the Christmas holiday period.

During the consultation period a total of 19 comments were received. All 19 representations outline support. However, a number make suggestions for alternative approaches.

Consultation has been undertaken with:

• The elected Wiltshire Council Members through the statutory TRO consultation process.
