Another day, another accident on the B3174 Exeter Road


This was the scene on the B3174 Exeter Road this morning – with power outages in the area. Yet another accident. Yet further confirmation of the dangers of this road, and its unsuitability for Aggregate Industries' plans for up to 216 HGV movements a day.

The accident occurred in the very same location proposed for the cattle crossing that would result from Aggregate Industries’ plans – as the Straitgate dairy operation would be forced to seek replacement pasture on the south side of the road.

It was only in November that we pointed to Another accident on B3174 Exeter Road, we pointed to the almost accident-free picture painted by Aggregate Industries’ traffic consultants, we pointed to the numerous other accidents that have come to our attention over just the last 3 years.
