Pedestrians trying to cross the lower end of North Road at its junction with the A36 Warminster Road have great difficulty in crossing safely due to the arrangement of the junction. Traffic approaches the junction from three directions – from North Road, and from each side of Warminster Road, and adequate visibility of approaching traffic can be a problem.

Local residents collected over 80 names for a petition which was presented to the Council Cabinet meeting in November.  The petition, which was supported by Cllr David Martin, called for the Council to examine different options to improve the safety of pedestrians at this location. The Council will now be considering the road safety issues and will be responding to the petition in the near future.
