A meeting is to be held to discuss concerns raised over pedestrian access to Tesco from Manor Farm Crescent and Hedgerows.
The problems were first highlighted at a Safer, Stronger meeting and was then taken up by South Gloucestershire Councillor Jon Williams.
An exchange of emails between Cllr Williams and Tesco’s PR department saw the firm promising to “establish a safe route whilst the footpath for the access road is constructed”.
The supermarket’s solution was to station two workmen who were directing pedestrians around the site to the Bradley Stoke Way entrance - but only between 8am and 6pm.
Cllr Williams told the Examiner he has pointed out that outside of these times the area could be a potential accident blackspot and told the firm a temporary crossing would be the “sensible solution”.
He is now due to meet with Tesco and the local police at the town centre in a bid to resolve the problem.
