Letter: Highways - Safer entrance and exit


A traffic island has now been created which makes entry to and exit from the Mashams area easier and safer. I have had a number of messages from local residents confirming they are happy with the new layout.
However, your correspondent queried whether the traffic island should not have been longer.

I am glad to put the record straight in this regard, and I pay tribute to the professional skills of the county council’s highways team.
