Elm Grove Drive and Sandy Lane: A suitable route for Construction traffic?

by Martin Wrigley on 27 March, 2016

This week we have had a report from Devon County Council, it says that even though Elm Grove Road is at capacity, it is only the junction with Exeter road that is an issue, so they make the bright suggestion to put half the costruction traffic down Sandy Lane and Elm Grove Drive.

This has to rate as one of the worst ideas in a long time.  The roads are residential, when they were used during the Sea Wall repsirs by drivers avoiding the traffic lights, they quickly ended up full of pot holes.

Not to mention the presence of the football club, the childrens playground, Red Rock and the leisure centre.  It clearly isnt enough to trundle past two schools.

This is an accident waiting to happen.  We have to make TDC and DCC see sense!
