WHEN action was demanded to make the junction of The Avenue and Devizes Road safer, the powers at be decided to widen the junction which only served to speed up the Devizes Road traffic and make it even more dangerous to cross from Wilton.
Pleas for a roundabout to slow the traffic were brushed aside and ignored.
When will the day come when local opinion, derived from local experience, is taken seriously?
It wasn't a case of if, but when, a serious accident would occur. Will we get the traffic slowed down now?
Probably, but at the expense of an unnecessary and preventable waste of a life.
My sincere sympathies go out to the family of the bereaved.
