Wiltshire Council is repairing a section of the Ridgeway National Trail which has been damaged by motorised vehicles. A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) was put in place in Spring and Summer 2019 to prohibit motorised vehicles to enable trail repairs to be made to some of the damaged areas. This was under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, section 14(1)(a). Additional work is required so a further order is sought for Spring and Summer 2020.

Consultation process
No statutory public consultation is required under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for TTROs made to enable repairs to roads to be undertaken. However, it is considered good practice to keep user groups informed.
One objection has been received from a user to the proposal, as detailed in paragraphs 16 to 18 of the decision report. It is possible to move the northern point of the proposed closure for motorbikes as requested. However, it is not possible to move the southern point as two of the test areas are within this stretch of The Ridgeway.
