Protesters
prepare for Coast Road protest at Berrow
 Scenes
of mass protest like this in Berrow last year are set to be repeated
on Saturday (May 2nd) when angry villagers step up their campaign
to get safety improvements introduced along a busy road.
As
first reported by Burnham-On-Sea.com last month, Berrow's Local
Action Team will hold the protest march in Coast Road on Saturday,
starting at
11am at
Berrow Church, to pile pressure onto
Somerset County Council to
introduce a pavement along the road.
Residents
have long campaigned for additional safety measures for the route,
which is busy with thousands of tourists during the summer months.
A
protest was held last
August, as pictured, which caused widespread disruption to
holidaymakers when long queues of traffic built up across the
area.
Berrow
Local Action Team Chairman Ken May told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "This
is the first of many and increasingly more frequent and longer
protests being planned throughout the holiday season."
