New roundabout for Lansdown Road

There is a new roundabout at the end of Lansdown Road. It has a smaller diameter and higher kerbing than the previous one. The funding for the work came from the Highways Local Scheme administered by the local county councillor Jeremy Hilton. He said: "Large vehicles often drove over the old roundabout and churned up the grass as they tried to circumnavigate the roundabout.The reduction in the diameter of around two metres should stop this. The higher kerbing will also prevent vehicles riding over the roundabout."
