As a result, we were very lucky we didn’t have any accidents, but it certainly led to a few near misses. People did not expect drivers to be pulling out from a closed road.
“It’s frustrating really, as I’d been arguing for a long time to ensure we signpost the area, so people know what is going on, and more importantly we block it off. Hopefully now this will be a strong step going forward.”
