Warminster Town Councillors are urging the public to have their say on plans to close part of Smallbrook Road to motor vehicles during the toad breeding season.
Town councillors previously encouraged the public to avoid the road during the evenings during the toad breeding season and have given support in principle for a proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO).
Members discussed the proposed TRO at a Full Council meeting on Monday 30th September, with residents urged to give their views to Wiltshire Council, who will make the final decision as to whether the TRO goes ahead.

Public consultation is being undertaken by Wiltshire Council. Comments on the proposal together with the reasons for which they are made should be sent to reach the Traffic Order Team, Sustainable Transport, County Hall, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN by 28th October 2024 quoting reference LJB/TRO/WARMpmv.
The closure would cover the length of Smallbrook Road from its junction with Gypsy Lane to its junction with Upper Marsh Road and be enforced annually between 5pm and 5am from 1st February to 30th April.
