Content: To consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of a proposed “Prohibition of Motor Vehicles except for access to off street premises, from 1st February to 30th April, between 5pm and 5am” on Smallbrook Road, Warminster and to recommend a way forward.   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 14 January 2025. 1.    According to the Wiltshire and Swindon Biological Records Centre (WSBRC) “Wiltshire’s critical species project” the Common Toad is important to conserve because it is classed as an “umbrella species” which means their conservation helps protect other species within the ecosystem.  It is listed as one of Wiltshire’s Critical Species.   2.    The “Prohibition of Motor Vehicles except for access to off street premises” Order will also enable the Smallbrook Toad Crossing Patrol to operate in a safer manner, by reducing the amount of traffic during the toad migratory period. To:   Implement the proposals as advertised.   Abandon the proposals. Consultation has been undertaken with:   The elected Wiltshire Council Members through the statutory TRO consultation process.   The elected Warminster Town Council through the statutory TRO consultation process   Members of the Warminster Local Highways & Footways Improvement Group (LHFIG)   Emergency services through the statutory TRO consultation process   Members of the public through the statutory TRO consultation process.

Date of Decision: January 7, 2025
