I met with councillors and local stakeholders at the Gilpin Bridge Inn to discuss the proposed roundabout at the junction of the A5074 (Lyth Valley Road) and the A590.
This roundabout is designed to enhance road safety, with the primary goal of saving lives.
I am committed to contributing my efforts to advance these plans.
Considering the broader context, this roundabout is set to enhance safety and maintain a smooth flow of trade along the A590 economic corridor.
The plans aim to reduce accidents and minimize road closures, especially when suitable alternative routes are unavailable.
I support the inclusion of this project in the 2025 to 2030 Road Investment Strategy (RIS) period.
This project is crucial for the overall enhancement of our transportation infrastructure.
Thank you for the commendable efforts of the group and for driving these plans forward.
Moving forward, I encourage community members to stay informed and engaged. Your input is invaluable, and together, we can ensure that this crucial project aligns with the needs and expectations of those who rely on the road daily.
Let us continue the dialogue, advocate for enhanced road safety measures, and work collaboratively towards creating a safer and more secure transportation network for our community.
