Rodford Way barrier work in progress

South Gloucestershire Council is installing the central barriers at the Rodford Way fatality site. The plan was discussed at the recent Yate Safer Stronger Communities Group, and the general feeling was of dissatisfaction about lack of consultation.

The meeting decided not to protest against the impending work, but to keep an eye on the situation and if necessary raise the issue again. The point was made that people have been seen locally to vault barriers like this into the path of oncoming traffic. Many residents still feel that their preferred solution would be light-controlled crossings.
