Fantastic announcement today coming from County Hall: Government funding has been confirmed for a £2.2 million road safety scheme on the A3123 in North Devon at Lynton Cross.
Thanks to the hard work of our Conservative County Councillor for Combe Martin Rural, Andrea Davis, this project will see a four-arm rural roundabout constructed at Lynton Cross, and works will also be carried out to the centre white lines along the entire A3123 to bring them in line with current standards.
Andrea, who is also the Cabinet Member for Infrastructure and Development, said:
I wanted to thank everyone for their support over what has been a very long campaign to get improvements at Lynton Cross.
I started on this 16 years ago and today I can confirm that we have the funding. This will improve safety at the junction, something we have all been very concerned about for decades.
Not only will the improvements be beneficial to us as residents but it will improve the road for our visitors and businesses.
Construction will start in earnest in the autumn, you will see some work going on however very soon.
Thank you all for your help, badgering, suggestions and encouragement.
This great news shows Conservatives getting results, addressing issues that matter to the community and will improve road safety for both residents and visitors alike.
Cllr Andrea Davis is a brilliant county councillor and deserves your vote at the upcoming County elections.
