A39 Gully Yet To Be Repaired

Thank you for your patience and cooperation with the recent resurfacing along the A39 towards Selworthy. A gully has been discovered to be broken during the post-resurfacing morning inspection, maybe a result of heavy plant passing over it during the night works. Unfortunately this does mean we need to revisit the site and repair this defect.

We have therefore arranged for the repair to be carried out during the daytime on the 21st and 22nd March, but under temporary traffic lights, ensuring movement is still possible for the communities that use the A39.

Kali Martin
Assistant Highway Service Manager

Council urges young drivers to “Think!” before taking risks on country roads SCC is backing a major new campaign aimed at younger drivers to raise awareness of the dangers of excessive speed on rural roads. The Department for Transport launched its Think! campaign earlier this month on video and radio and the Council is set to roll out its own radio version of the campaign this week. The ads focus on a young driver eager to meet up with friends and will underline key messages around taking care, reducing speed and respecting the road layout, particularly on rural roads. A quarter of incidents involving fatalities or serious injuries on Somerset’s rural roads involve younger drivers. Please click here to read the full press release.
