A bid to build a new services off the A5 near Shrewsbury has attracted the opposition of campaigners battling against the town's relief road.
The Churncote Roundabout, where the A5 meets the A458 Welshpool Road
Better Shrewsbury Transport , which has been campaigning against the plans for the relief road, has submitted a written objection to the proposals. If approval is granted the applicant will make an £80,000 contribution towards the North West Relief Road, but at last month’s meeting councillors questioned why the figure was so low.
Emma Bullard, who submitted the written evidence to the committee on behalf of BeST, said they disputed the council's view over the entrance and exit to the site."The current design puts road users in danger as almost all the site’s traffic, including tankers delivering fuel, will come off Churncote Island and have to wait to turn right across westbound traffic. This increases the chance of accidents.
