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.
