Many months of hard work by your local District Councillors, Jeremy Nettle, Sheila Warrander and Patrick Paisey combined with input from your new County Councillor, Mary Douglas, have finally paid off!

Mary Douglas arranged a meeting on 6th June with David Thomas of the Salisbury Joint Transportation Team to discuss this, together with Jeremy Nettle and Sheila Warrander. Mr Thomas put forward for Councillors’ approval a solution which ensured that there was not double parking at any point along the stretch of Stratford Road alongside Victoria Park. Councillors were happy to give their approval, and understand it will be implemented within weeks.

This has been able to proceed so swiftly because it is an Experimental Traffic Order. Limited consultation is required, with elected Members. After being advertised in the local paper, the Order can be implemented immediately. Members of the public have up to 18 months to give their comments. After 6 months, the Order is reviewed with elected Members, to decide whether to accept it as permanent, continue it as experimental, or remove it altogether.

Your local councillors are delighted with the outcome and look forward to smooth traffic flow past the Grammar School!
