Local council report on traffic and highways
COUNCILLOR THORNTON:
Thank you. Well, we now have the results of the survey carried out last month about traffic and road
transport in the town. People were generally satisfied with the state of the roads. There were one or two
complaints about potholes which will be addressed, but
a significant number of people complained
about the increasing number of heavy vehicles
Q11
using our local roads to avoid traffic elsewhere.
We’d expected more complaints by commuters about the reduction in the train service, but it doesn’t
seem to have affected people too much. The cycle path that runs alongside the river is very well used by
both cyclists and pedestrians since the surface was improved last year, but overtaking can be a problem
so
