Safer Roads - Now

Yesterday morning, Sarah Moore and several residents met with Councillor Tim Ball and Councillor Anthony Clarke (BANES Cabinet Member for Transport) to discuss the state of the roads specifically on Kelston View and North Way and request that action is taken to address the extremely poor state of these roads.

They walked around the area showing exactly how bad these road have got and also discussing the issues caused with the increased bus usage late into the night.  They pointed out that too many residents are being disturbed by the noise that it is unacceptable to just leave the situation as it is.

Councillor Clarke has agreed to discuss the issues with the Highways Department and come back with options and timescales.  

In the meantime, Sarah Moore has launched a petition to ensure this is not just ignored. Please take time to sign on-line here, or if you prefer, a paper copy is available for signature. The petition is to request action is taken on all roads across the South West of Bath, not just the 2 specific one mentioned previously, so it will affect a number of people across the area.
