Decision details

To:

(i)               Consider comments received following the formal advertisement of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO hereafter) proposing amendments to waiting restrictions in Salisbury City Centre.

(ii)              Recommend the making of the TRO as advertised.

DECISION MADE

I approve that:

(i)               The proposed TRO be implemented as advertised.

(ii)              The correspondent who commented on the Council’s proposals be informed accordingly.

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

The retention of the NWAAT restrictions in the section of Brown Street between Ivy Street and St. Ann Street will enhance road safety by improving visibility for motorists exiting the private car park of the White Hart Hotel. The improved visibility at this location will reduce the likelihood of a collision occurring between vehicles exiting the car park and vehicles travelling along Brown Street.

The parking options, detailed in Appendix 3, are considered to provide local residents with sufficient alternative parking arrangements to make use of in lieu of not being able to park on the length of No WaitingMonday to Saturday 8.00am to 6.00pm restriction in the section of Brown Street between Ivy Street and St. Ann Street.

The proposals are in accordance with Priority 2 of the Council’s Business Plan.

To:

(i)               Implement the proposed TRO as advertised.

(ii)              Amend the proposed TRO in consideration of the comments received.

(iii)            Abandon the proposals.
