Decision details

To consider a single objection to the proposed “no waiting at any time” restrictions on Quakers Road and Keepers Road, Devizes, submitted to the Council by Mrs Hannah Leigh, 19 Quakers Road, Devizes.

I approve that the proposals be Implement as advertised.

This decision was published on the 18 February 2016 and will come in to force on the 26 February 2016.

Inconsiderate parking in the vicinity of the school is having a continued detrimental effect on the amenity and safety of the users of the highway, both vehicular and pedestrian (especially that of children).  Supported by a safety audit it has been decided to promote the introduction of on-street waiting restrictions on specific lengths of Quakers Road and Keepers Road. The introduction of the waiting restrictions will help to ensure safety and amenity is protected.

(i)         Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)        Not implement the proposals.

(iii)       Implement the proposals with amendments.

A pre-consultation was undertaken, which included all of the statutory consultees.

Consultations have been undertaken with the Fire, Police, Ambulance and bus companies. The Wiltshire Council Members for the area have been consulted along with the relevant Town and Parish Councils.  Advertisements were posted in the local press and on site in prominent positions.
