Byways ...

I've been involved in a small way in trying to keep a raft of byways
around Stonehenge open, despite TRO's being sought by Wiltshire Council
and just received a letter with the final decision, I'll quote a couple
of relevant sentences ...

"Re road traffic regulation act 1984 - Public enquiry 20 Sept - 4 Oct
2011. The county of Wiltshire (Stonehenge World Heritage Site,
Parishes of Amesbury, Berwick St james, Durrington, Wilsford cum lake,
Winterbourne Stoke and Woodford) Prohibition of drivinng order 2010"

"The cabinet member for Highways and Transport has now considered a
report prepared following the receipt of the planning inspectors
report. He has accepted the inspectors recommendation and has decided
that the traffic restriction should be made to apply only to the A344
and not to the Byways."

"the traffic restriction should be made to apply only to the A344 and
not to the Byways."

and just in case you didn't see it ..

"the traffic restriction should be made to apply only to the A344 and
not to the Byways."

Good news for those of us who ride and drive the Byways ... let's hope
for similar mini-victories in future ..
