To consider the comments received following the advertisement of the Cycle Track Order
associated with the proposed shared use cycle path across The Green, Devizes.
I approve that the proposal be implemented as advertised.
This decision was published on 15/01/14 and will come into
force on 23/01/14.
The proposed scheme to permit cycling across The Green is a key element to improving the
cycle network within Devizes. The proposal has been developed in conjunction with and support
from Devizes Town Council, the Area Board, Devizes Community Area Partnership and Cycle Devizes.
To:
(i) Implement the proposal as advertised.
(ii) Abandon the proposal.
Other reasons / organisations consulted
The scheme has been developed through the Devizes Community Area Transport Group; this
includes representatives of Devizes Town Council, Devizes Community Area Partnership, Cycle
Devizes and the Locally Elected Member – Cllr Peter Evans.
Devizes Town Council has undertaken its own local public consultation with regard to the street
lighting element.
The procedure associated with implementing a Cycle Track Order requires a level of
consultation to be undertaken with national consultees, including Friends of the Earth, Living
Streets, Cyclists Touring Club, and Joint Committee on Mobility for Disabled People, Joint
Committee on Mobility for Blind and Partially Sighted People, Ramblers’ Association, Devizes
Town Council, the emergency services and locally elected Member. The only response
received came from Wiltshire Police and related to a technical detail with the design.
