Decision details

To consider comments received in relation to proposals to amend The County of Wiltshire (Westbury, Heywood and Dilton Marsh) (Prohibition and Restriction of waiting, taxi rank clearways and on-street Parking) Consolidation Order 2012 to introduce waiting restrictions at various locations within Westbury.

I approve to proceed with the proposals as advertised.

This decision was published on 20 April 2017 and will come into force on 28 April 2017.           

The proposed restrictions are intended to improve road safety and reduce the potential for collisions as a result of on-street parking negatively impacting upon forward visibility for vehicles passing through these locations and those entering/exiting junctions and accesses within these areas.  Despite the objections received, there has also been a great deal of support for the proposals and it is felt that the restrictions are required in order to address the existing road safety concerns.

To:

(i)            Proceed with the proposals as advertised.

(ii)          Not proceed with the proposals.

The proposal was subject to formal advertisement between 13 January and 6 February 2017.  During the advertisement period a total of 19 items of comment were received, of which 7 were objections.  This report deals with those objections made in relation to the proposed restrictions.
