A New Pavement For Christmas!

<- Louise Bray inspecting the wide grass verge where she has been inspecting for a footpath to be built for 5 years now.

Residents of Crossways Park, Dunkerton, have been complaining to us for over 5 years now about the need for the pavement to this local bus stop. The speed of traffic makes the lack of a pavement a real safety hazzard for pedestrians walking to the bus stop.
We have been working to persuade the council during this time that the provision of a pavement is vital. One of the problems was the BT telegraph pole, and we are delighted to report that negotiations with BT over this obstacle are now nearly complete. This means the council can proceed with building a pavement.
The council have assured us that work is scheduled to start towards the end of November.We will be keeping an eye on this.
After five years of waiting it will be a great christmas present for bus users from Crossways Park to be able to reach the bus stop in safety without having to walk along the road.
