Planners at South Gloucestershire Council are to consult on changes to a traffic light-controlled junction on Winterbourne Road.

The council wants to scrap the current pedestrian crossing near the junction for the Vantage Business Park.

It will be replaced with a new crossing just yards down the road which will stop traffic in every direction and allow vehicles out of the business park.

Currently, the junction is a give way area with an ‘island’ in the middle for right-turning traffic.

The council consultation is for the removal of the current junction rather than the creation of the new one.

The quoted planning application reference of PT03/2952/0 for the new junction failed to bring up any matches on the council website.
