Decision details

To consider the eight objections, two supporting statements and one comment in relation to the waiting restrictions proposed for Carnival Close, Devereux Mews and Gilmore Road and the proposed prohibition of motor vehicles at the end of Snell Avenue in Malmesbury (see Appendix 2).

I approve that the proposals be implemented as amended (see Appendix 3).

This decision was published on 2 February 2021 and will come into force on 10 February 2021.

To protect the turning heads of Carnival Close and Gilmore Road and to promote the safety of all road users, including pedestrians (particularly children) and cyclists, waiting and stopping restrictions are proposed. This is to be achieved by restricting the parking of vehicles on the public highway and prohibiting the use of motor vehicles where Snell Avenue meets Webbs Way.  Changes have been made to the advertised scheme and detailed in Appendix 3, with the removal of 16 metres of proposed parking restrictions on the south side of Carnival Close. This change has been provided after public comment was received and will protect the turning head of Carnival Close while still providing on-street parking which is much valued by respondents.

To:

(i)             Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)            Not implement the proposals.

(iii)       Implement the proposals with amendments.

Consultations have been undertaken with the Fire Service, Police and Ambulance Service and with the relevant bus companies, the Town Council and the Local Member.  Advertisements have been posted in the local press and notices were posted in prominent positions at the site (see Appendices 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d).
