Why your views matter

There is an issue of traffic rat-running along Silchester Road and Faircross Road, then turning in the junction of Fawley Road to avoid traffic on the A4 Bath Road and the bus gate on Southcote Lane. This is undesirable and also poses risks to pedestrians, particularly children traveling to school. This also increases traffic levels in the already-congested, residential streets around Southcote Primary School during school drop-off times.
