Marlborough Town Council
Wiltshire Council Consultation
Freight Action Plan
Wiltshire Council is inviting residents, businesses and transport operators to have their say on a new Freight Action Plan, which sets out how the movement of freight and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) should be managed across the county.
A consultation on the plan opened on Wednesday 26th August and runs until Wednesday 23rd September at 23:59, with people invited to find out more and have their say.
Freight plays an essential role in supporting Wiltshire’s economy, from supplying local shops and businesses to serving key sectors such as manufacturing, retail and defence. However, freight traffic can also have a significant impact on communities, particularly in rural areas and historic towns and villages.
The proposed Freight Action Plan aims to support economic activity while reducing the negative effects of freight on local communities, road safety and the environment. It looks at how goods move around Wiltshire now and how this is likely to change in the future, before setting out a range of actions to manage freight more sustainably.
