Decision details

To consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of a Zebra crossing at Hither Way, Lacock and to recommend an appropriate way forward.

I approve that:

(ii)          The objectors be informed accordingly.

This decision was published on  4 July 2018 and will come into force on 12 July 2018.
