Council response to recent fatality

Police are still investigating the tragic incident where a pedestrian was fatally injured in a collision with a car near the Park Lane junction on Badminton Road just after midnight on Monday 16th May.

Following the incident, South Glos highways officers reviewed the accident record and found there had been three accidents involving slight injury since January 2013. There is an existing yellow backed ‘junction to the left’ warning sign for northbound vehicles on Badminton Road. However this was observed to be obscured by vegetation and partially faded. Streetcare have now cut back the vegetation and the sign will be replaced and supplemented by a ‘SLOW’ road marking to highlight the junction.
