The traffic situation in this area has been steadily getting worse, with people spending upwards of 40 minutes each evening trying to get out of the estate. This is increased over the winter months with the employment of seasonal staff at a number of employers.

There are currently no plans to change both roundabouts to traffic signal control. However, commencing this month, there are road widening works taking place on the approach to the Oliver Place roundabout, turning one lane to two on the southbound approach on Eastway. In addition, two signal controlled pedestrian crossings will be installed; one to the north (Eastway) and the other to the east (Olivers Place) arms of this junction.
We will continue to monitor both roundabouts after completion of
the above works and will consider further traffic measures, if
required.
