Decision details

To consider the comments received following the pre advertisement consultation on proposed changes to the speed limits on the B3107 between Holt and Melksham and to seek approval to go to formal advertisement of the proposals.

I approve that

(i)         The proposal be advertised as designed.

(ii)        The commentors be informed accordingly.

            This decision was published on 23 October 2019 and will come into force on 31 October 2019.

The proposed limit meets the criteria set by Wiltshire Council policy and the guidance given by the Department for Transport.  The alternatives suggested by the Parish and Town Councils do not do this.

To:

(i)         Advertise the proposals as designed

(ii)        Advertise the proposals with amendment.

(iii)       Abandon the proposals.

Consultation has been undertaken with:

·         Broughton Gifford, Holt, and Melksham Without Parish Councils and Melksham Town Council together with the local Wiltshire Councillor, Mr Philip Alford.

This report considers the comments made in relation to the proposed speed limit changes.
