Consultation process
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.
The formal advertisement of the Cycle Track Order allows for a period of consultation. During this period one comment has been received.
