Another accident on B3174 Exeter Road

There was yet another accident just outside Straitgate Farm last night – again highlighting the dangers of this road, and its unsuitability for Aggregate Industries' plans for up to 216 HGV movements a day.

Of course, the company’s Transport Assessment paints a picture of sunshine and roses. It claims:

3.2.28 In summary one serious and two slight collisions have occurred on the examined section of highway network over the five year period.

If only it were so. We have posted about various accidents that have come to our attention over just the last 3 years – here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. No doubt there will have been many others.
