Decision details

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.

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.
