Is
this the end of the line
for Frank Foley Parkway completion hopes?
 Angry
residents living near Burnham-On-Sea's road-to-nowhere, the Frank
Foley Parkway, are giving up hope of the road ever being completed
after new lines directing motorists off the road were introduced
this week.
Somerset
County Highways workmen added the new lines, pictured here, on
Wednesday as part of a new traffic calming scheme to safely direct
drivers around the obstacle, but some local residents are unhappy.
One
resident, writing in Burnham-On-Sea.com's discussion forum, said:
"I'm hopping mad. The
Highways people have been painting the white lines at the end
of the Frank Foley Parkway, but they haven't been repainting the
existing junction white lines. They've been burning them off the
road and applying new ones. The white lines are now the type you
see on a tight bend. A signal from the council that the road will
never be completed?"
A
County Highways spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com on Friday (June
23rd): "These lines are permanent until further private development
takes place."
"They
have been introduced due to issues with motorists incorrectly
using the junction."
