County Council Answer To Village Accident Blackspot Beyond Belief

Barry Stamp has today described the County Councils answers to how they intend to prevent further accidents on the A518 near Park Lane in the centre of Haughton as beyond belief. After the latest accident in which a car again left the road and demolished a wall on the corner of Park Lane Barry wrote to the Highways Department asking for something to be done to improve the situation. They have now replied to say the intend to repaint the white lines down the centre of the road and access the road surface. Barry believes this is not enough!

"Over the past couple of years there have been a number of accidents at this spot. In nearly ever case vehicles travelling from Stafford have left the road, mounted the footpath, and have hit the garden wall on the corner of Park Lane. I, and local residents are concerned that someone walking along the path will be killed. However all the County Council intend to do about the problem is repaint the white lines! This is not enough and I will fight to get more done," said Barry.
