Visibility improvements coming at Ludlow accident blackspot
Improvements are to be made to an accident blackspot in Ludlow.
The Weeping Cross Lane/Lower Galdeford/Sheet Road junction has been the scene of serious accidents over many years.
Now Shropshire Council is to place a mirror at the junction.
Councillor Vivienne Parry, Shropshire Councillor for Ludlow South has campaigned for improvements for many years.
She said: " You simply cannot see traffic coming from the right when you are trying to pull out from Weeping Cross Lane onto Lower Galdeford and we have scores of near misses, minor accidents and a more serious incident recently.
"I have been trying for a number of years to try and get a mini-roundabout here but have always been rebuffed. Finally, Shropshire has agreed to put a mirror at the junction which will allow motorists to see traffic coming around this blind spot.
"This is a really welcome development and I'd like to thank the road safety officer who has made this possible. I will, however, keep the pressure on to get this in place, hopefully before we have any more incidents."
