A further update on the proposed roadworks on the Braishfield Road roundabout at Abbotswood:
I've received confirmation that:
- The developers have been told to shorten the period of time during which the lights will be in place.
- The traffic lights are to be manually controlled at morning and evening peak times to ensure that queues do not build up at busy times.
Exit from Abootswood to Woodley Lane
Lots of people have asked why we can't re-open the exit which was to have been a bus gate onto Woodley Lane for the duration of the work.
I'm afraid the process for doing so would involve consultation and various legal stages, by the time that was completed the work on the roundabout would be (almost) over. So it's not a practical option. Sorry.
