The scheme involves the following works: • Localised widening and modifications to road markings on the circulatory and on all approaches to increase from two to three lanes • The introduction of Toucan crossings on each of the four arms which are prioritised for pedestrian and cyclists, as this will be an attractive alternative to cyclists using the roundabout • The introduction of high quality carriageway entry and exit points for cyclists which are clearly signed, coloured and marked • Widening of shared use foot and cycle paths where possible, to a suitable width with a high quality surface finish.

Reader comments on our Facebook page CP: This is a “perfect storm” just waiting to happen. You should NEVER use “council” and “planning” in the same sentence. JB: Why does something that looks fairly simple, cost so much and take 12 months to complete? It’s a great idea, and needed, but come on, £2.9 million! Are they having a laugh? TB: So, they ask for residents comments … “Great idea, but please don’t do any work at the same time as Gipsy Patch Lane” … and ignore their feelings completely. Unbelievable! MM: Muppets! You couldn’t make it up. Let’s double-up on roadworks on an already busy area of Bradley Stoke. South Gloucestershire Council: Decisions made by people who live outside of the town without any consideration of those who live in it, yet again.

CO: More traffic lights just after exiting roundabouts. More rear end stunts coming up. JMS: Why do everything at the same time? Gipsy Patch Lane, Harry Stoke and development near Sainsbury’s – and now this! Looks like right hand not talking to the left one! Project leaders!

CM: Haven’t they just recently carried out work on [the roundabout] for the MetroBus route? How can they not think ahead and have done this work at the same time? Madness! DP: 12 months? Jeez! On holiday last year at Lake Tahoe [it was noted that] they managed to re-tarmac the whole town within a day. Yet in the UK it’ll take us 12 months, will be over budget and probably crack and warp in a few weeks of use. BR: Why don’t they just start by saying it’s going to take 24 months instead, so we can all be surprised if it actually did take 12? CO: At least you will be able to get to the roundabout quicker once they widen the Gipsy Patch Lane bridge.
