Text of Petition:
This is a popular garden centre
with busy tea rooms. Access to the centre off the A4042 (50 mph here) is badly
marked with two lanes north-bound reducing to one. Collisions are frequent.
Leaving the Garden Centre drivers are free to turn in either direction. Cars
often come out too slowly or stall with traffic bearing down on them; another
source of incidents.
There is no pedestrian
access here for the people of the nearby village of Little Mill. The junction
does not support Active Travel.
Additional details:
Collisions are frequent
and unreported near misses more frequent. There is a catalogue of collisions
here.
Yesterday 9 August two
cars collided at around 5:25pm with the road closed in both directions and
diversions through Little Mill. Prior to that on 4 June 2023, two cars collided
at c. 7:00 am during morning rush hour causing delays in both directions. Happily
no serious injuries on either occasion, just traumatised passengers and
drivers. This is putting unnecessary pressure on our emergency services which
are stretched enough as it is.
I feel sure road
statistics will confirm just how much of a black spot this site is.
Rush hour collisions cause
misery for all and extra air pollution.
