Decision details

To consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of speed limit changes associated with the request for a 30 mph and associated traffic calming measures in Zeals, and to recommend an appropriate way forward.

I approvethat:

(i)            The proposals be implemented as advertised.

(ii)          The objectors be informed accordingly.

This decision was published on 8 Sept 2017 and will come into force on 18 Sept 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’.

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 South West Wiltshire Area Board. The proposal has been considered and supported by Zeals Parish Council.  The Parish Council has held a number of community meetings to allow the local community to come along and comment on the proposals as they were progressed all of which were well attended, with the majority of attendees in favour of the scheme.

Support was received from the affected Wiltshire Council Member.
