The town’s traffic problems are getting worse every year and it is time to take urgent action. Better signs are needed to guide vehicles along the most appropriate routes, and to ensure that the only vehicles which enter the town centre are those which really need to be there.

Green Party councillor Ron Tulley has joined the traffic forum which meets with police and county highways officials and he will be pressing the need for traffic regulation and better signage.

Ron added: “Dealing with the summer traffic chaos is one of the most urgent challenges facing the town and we must ensure that the first steps are taken before next summer.”
