Board Decision and recommended proposals
After
a presentation by Wiltshire Council which explained the 4
options (this included the people’s option 4) and a
full debate and the recommendation by both Bulford and Durrington
Councils to adopt option 4, Cllr Wright proposed to the Area
Board the following, ‘The Area Board recommend that
the overall peoples choice, Option4, be formulated into a
workable plan and that full consultation takes place with
an impact analysis report before Wiltshire Council Cabinet
makes its final decision’. This was seconded by Cllr
Smale and also supported by Cllr West. Cllr Noeken, Cllr Westmoreland
and the Chairman, Cllr Hewitt with a casting vote, voted against
and the recommendation and the motion was lost.
There
was then a debate about Option 1 and what improvements and
help could be recommended. The following recommendations were
made;
1.
Shortening the time the bridge is closed by working longer
hours per day
2. Reduction of business rates for local businesses that will
be affected
3. Resurface Larkhill Road whist the road is closed.
The
area board voted to adopt option1 with the above recommendations
and this was passed.
Cllr
Graham Wright then offered to liaise on behalf of the board
with all local Schools, Doctors and businesses between now
and May, when the work is planned to start, to minimise the
impact of the 7.5 month road closure.
