Highway Safety

Councillors Sarah Moore and Tim Ball are meeting with Highway engineers next week to look at potential traffic calming options for Shophouse Road, Twerton High Street and Long Valley Road.

This is the start of reviewing all road across Twerton and Whiteway where we have been contacted with concerns, to ensure they are safer streets for residents. Other roads will also be reviewed with a view to implementing safety schemes to stop speeding vehicles and other issues.

No schemes will be put in place without the residents affected being able to respond and have their say about the proposals.

We are not looking at implementing any LTNs in this area but we are keen to stop traffic speeding and causing issues for pedestrians trying to cross our roads.

We are also reviewing the condition of all footpaths in the area as well as the roads that have not yet been resurfaced to ensure these are addressed.
