At Thursday's Frome Vale Area Forum, local Councillors voted to support the creation of a new crossing on Westerleigh Road in Westerleigh.
Local Councillor Claire Young said, “This road is used by commuters as a rat run. Some form of crossing is desperately needed to make it easier for those getting off buses at the bus stop to cross the road and to slow the traffic through the village.”
The Area Forum also highlighted the high accident rate on Church Road in Frampton Cotterell. Cllr Dave Hockey called on the Cabinet Member responsible for Transport to tackle this under the Council’s Casualty Reduction Programme and the Forum agreed that creating a pedestrian refuge on the road should be a priority.
