Works to improve road safety, which includes installing a new parallel crossing in Radstock, will take up to three weeks to complete.

From February 17, The Street will be closed for seven days as the council improves the existing crossing point near the roundabout. Work to widen footways and install new paving will also be carried out.

From February 24, Frome Road will be closed for 12 days as the existing crossing point will be replaced with a parallel crossing, giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists.

Footways will also have high-friction surfacing and new road markings will also be provided.

The council is also re-aligning the crossing points on Nelson Ward Drive but will be keeping the road open to two-way traffic throughout.
