Decision details

To consider comments received in relation to proposals to amend The County of Wiltshire (Trowbridge) (Prohibition and Restriction of waiting, taxi rank clearways and on-street Parking) Consolidation Order 2015 to introduce waiting restrictions at various locations within Trowbridge.

I approve to:

(i)            Proceed with the proposal as advertised in relation to The Down and Keates Close.

(ii)          Not proceed with the proposal as advertised in relation to Baydon Close, The Moldens and Conigre.

This decision was published on 28 February 2017 and will come into     force on  8 March 2017         

In light of the objections received, it is recommended that the proposed restrictions at Baydon Close, The Moldens and Conigre are not taken forward. The objections received have merit and highlight residents’ concerns that the proposals will either not solve the current issues or that the existing parking does not cause an issue to residents.

The proposed restrictions at The Down should be implemented despite the objection received in order to mitigate the impact of school related parking on this location.

The proposed restrictions at Keates Close should also be implemented to relieve access issues.

To:

(i)         Proceed with the proposals as advertised

(ii)        Not proceed with the proposals

The proposal was subject to formal advertisement between 25 November and 19 December 2016.  During the advertisement period a total of 19 items of comment were received, of which 14 were objections.  This report deals with those objections made in relation to the proposed restrictions.
