B3174 Exeter Road accident

This morning, another accident on the B3174 Exeter Road – to add to the already very long list. Time and time and time again, it has been demonstrated that the B3174 – the main road into and out of Ottery St Mary – is patently unsuitable for the up to 200 HGV movements a day Aggregate Industries requires for its proposals to quarry Straitgate Farm.

This accident happened just a few yards up from where 150 cows would be forced to cross this road 4x daily to seek replacement pasture as a result of the company's plans. What on earth could go wrong??
