In relation to the current closure of the a36 at Limpley Stoke, could national highways please confirm what risk assessments have been undertaken in respect of the impact of the closure on the local highway network and provide copies.
This should include the local roads in Limpley Stoke notably Middle Stoke, Church Lane, Crowe Hill, Lower Stoke and Midford lane.
Traffic associated with the current closure is posing a significant risk to other road users, pedestrians and cyclists in particular, using these roads. Both are vulnerable in these areas owing to narrow pavements, no pavements and single roads with passing places.
Can National Highways confirm what measures have been taken to ensure their safety throughout the duration of the closure.
Many school children walk to school along these routes. Can national highways confirm what engagement there has been with local educational settings and whether additional measures are planned to enhance safety during periods of the day when children are likely to be present on the local road network during their journeys to and from school.
Please also confirm what mechanisms are in place to review the safety of pedestrians in the area above throughout the closure period? Thank you in advance
