Prior to the publication of the recommendations, all the proposals were discussed with the former Wiltshire Safety Camera Partnership, as the enforcement agency at the time.

The review recommendations were provided to Town and Parish Councils in the form of a CD in December 2009 and additionally published on the Wiltshire Council website.

Town and Parish Councils were invited to comment on the recommendations of the review and were given the opportunity to put forward their case should they wish to see a different result from that proposed by the review.  All the review recommendations, together with background information, were made available on the Council’s website.  The Town and Parish Councils were requested to put forward their comments in terms of the criteria set out in Circular 01/06 to enable a review of their case.

Copies of the proposals were distributed to Wiltshire Police and the locally elected Wiltshire Council Member.

During the advertisement period for the Traffic Regulation Order, a total of 82 comments have been received, along with 64 copies of a standard form objecting to a proposal.
