I was notified today that work is to start very soon (possibly next week) to install crash barriers on the central reservation of the A167 north and south of the Cock of the North roundabout where there have beeen several fatal accidents over the past three years.

North of the roundabout there will be a barrier only on the southbound side (where the accidents have been).  The work will take around 8 weeks or so.

This work will not stop accidents, however. If people drive too fast, the danger will persist, although we can hope that the outcomes may be less severe.
