Decision details

To consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of speed limit changes associated with the request for a 20 mph speed limit in Monkton Farleigh, and to recommend an appropriate way forward.

I consider that the proposed changes should be made and therefore approve implementation of the advertised changes

This decision was published on 30 December 2016 and will come into force on 10 January 2017

The proposals have been assessed and are in accordance with the guidance provided by the Department for Transport, Circular 01/13 ‘Setting Local Speed Limits’, and Wiltshire Council’s own adopted policy for 20 mph restrictions.

To:

(i)       Implement the advertised changes.

(ii)      Abandon the proposals and retain the existing restriction.

The proposal has been developed following prioritisation of this request by the Bradford on Avon Area Board. The assessment report has been considered and supported by Monkton Farleigh Parish Council.
