Decision details

To consider the points of objection received following the advertisement of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) associated with the proposed Traffic Calming in Abberd Way, Calne.

INTENTION TO MAKE DECISION

            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 26 May 2014.

The introduction of the traffic calming will help to provide safety for pedestrians crossing Abberd Way in the vicinity of Penn Hill Road.

To:

(i)            Implement the proposal as advertised.

(ii)           Not implement the proposal.

Wiltshire Council has developed a scheme with the aim to improve safe routes to schools for pedestrians and cyclists from Sandpit Road through Abberd Way.  A working group has been set up to prioritise and spend funds obtained from a Section 106 agreement.

As part of the scheme development, plans were displayed in the Calne Community Hub, on Calne community websites and shared with the Area Board. A letter explaining the scheme was also sent to local residents.

As part of the formal statutory process, copies of the proposal were distributed to Wiltshire Police, the Wiltshire Council Member and Calne Town Council.

The formal advertisement of the Traffic Regulation Order for the waiting restrictions took place between 24 December 2013 and 27 January 2014.  The advertisement took the form of press notices, together with site notices, displayed at regular locations within the area of the proposal restriction.  On conclusion of the advertisement period one letter of objection was received.
