In line with this announcement, the High Street Regeneration Team of Malmesbury Town Council have arranged to meet with senior representatives of Wiltshire Council this Thursday, 15th July, to discuss the implications this will have on the removal of the current High Street restrictions.
Please note that implementing the removal of the bollards and planters remains wholly the legal responsibility of the Highways officers of Wiltshire Council. At the time of writing this letter we have been advised that Wiltshire Council have a considerable number of such covid social distancing schemes across the county. All will need removing. It is therefore extremely unlikely this will coincide with the date of the 19th July.
Hopefully following the meeting I will be in a position to let everyone know the plan for Malmesbury and we will be able to advise on the changes that will be taking place and the timelines associated with these.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding during what has been an unprecedented year as we look forward to the start of a return to the ‘new normal’.
Yours faithfully,
Councillor Paul Smith, Mayor of Malmesbury
