Decision details

To:

(i)             Consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of proposed waiting restrictions at Alfred Street and Bratton Road, Westbury.

(ii)            Recommend the making of the Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs hereafter) on Bratton Road, Westbury as advertised.

(iii)           Recommend the making of an amended TRO on Alfred Street, Westbury to omit the proposed restriction opposite the junction of Glovers Row.

Following consultation with officers I give notice that I intend to make the decision set out in the attached report.  If you would like to make any representations to me on this issue please do so by 17 April 2024.

The proposed waiting restrictions will help the Council to meet its statutory duty of ensuing that the right of passage along the public highway is not impeded.

The proposals are in accordance with Outcomes 2 and 3 of the Council’s Business Plan.

The proposals have been prioritised by the Westbury LHFIG as a project for 2023-24 and supported by the Area Board.

To:

(i)       Implement the proposed TROs as advertised.
