P-04-667 Roundabout for the A477/ A4075 Junction – Correspondence from the petitioner to the Committee, 15.12.17

Good Afternoon Kathryn

Thank you for your email. The response from the committee and the final stage 4 document was discussed at a recent meeting of Pembroke Town Council on Thursday 7th December.

I have been asked to write to you to express Councils deep disappointment with the findings of the document. The report actually states that the Accident rate has increased, and I quote " There has been an increase in the total number of collisions per year in the "After" period compared with the average for the three years in the Before period. In addition there has been an increase in the number of collisions involving a right turning vehicle emerging from the A4075 failing to give way to a westbound A477 vehicle". so obviously it is not doing what it is supposed to do, and in our opinion the only way forward is the installation of a roundabout, and urge you to reconsider this position.

We have now written to Valero and David Saunders Haulage which uses this junction on a regular basis, so we can report to you their findings.

We quote again this is a dangerous junction, and is an accident waiting to happen, and will keep pointing this out again and again and will hold them responsible for the next death that will occur if the layout of the road stays the same.

I would be grateful if you could forward the above to be included for the Agenda on 9th January, and will try my best to forward further correspondence to you by the 2nd.

Kind Regards

Suzie Thomas

Town Clerk - Pembroke
