The Mayor of Bradford on Avon has written to Wiltshire Council in response to their briefing note on a new traffic system for the town.
Wiltshire Council issued the briefing note on Monday 23 December, in response to a unanimous motion passed by Bradford on Avon Town Council on 24 September 2024.
At the latest Full Council meeting, councillors reviewed Wiltshire Council’s response and raised concerns about areas of confusion.
These included the introduction of a bus contraflow system as a red line for any one-way scheme on Silver Street and the possibility of a trial around the pinch point at the top of Market Street.
On 20 January, Councillor Vittles wrote to Samantha Howell, Director of Highways and Transport at Wiltshire Council. You can read the email in full via the links below.
