CONGRATULATIONS to Wiltshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways, for having a change of heart and now deciding to go out to consultation on installing traffic lights on the Wiltshire Farmers roundabout on Western Way, Melksham.

Let’s hope they take note of the outcome before rushing out to spend £1 million, on the project that in my view few people want. Since it was announced that these lights would be installed, I have only been contacted by one resident in support.

I’m sure Wiltshire Council will keep their promise, but in doing so let’s hope they cast their net wide to gain the views of as many residents as possible.

Councillor Terry Chivers, Independent Melksham Without North
