Combe Down Traffic Update

There's always something happening in Combe Down, if its not road closures or collapses underground its changing weight limits!

• The pinch points in Ralph Allen Drive and in North Road to the west, have been removed
• The Firs will be one way out of the village by 30th October
• Signs will be placed along North Road, at the Combe Road/North Road junction and at the top of The Avenue to advise traffic that access to the village is via The Avenue
• The barrier in Combe Road has been moved up to the Westerleigh Road junction - photo shows Roger and Cherry at this smaller closed area - residents can now park their cars closer
• An area of poor ground condition has been found to the east of the Ralph Allen Drive/North Road junction. In order to allow workers into this area and for it to be stabilised a weight limit needs to be placed on a small section of road which will run from the horse trough at the top of Ralph Allen Drive for about 150 metres to the other side of Tyning Road.
• There will also be a ‘road ahead closed’ sign at The Avenue/Church Road junction to prevent people getting to Combe Road only to find it is closed. A sign will also be put at this junction to advise that turning left into Church Road towards Tyning Road is unsuitable for HGVs.
• In addition to these signs there will be signage on North Road to direct site vehicles to the worksite on Firs Field, preventing them from entering the village.
