IN response to your article 'More Carnage on the A36', I am concerned about the chairman of the CPRE's West Wilts group's comments.
Mrs Marx accuses the county council of using "a hammer to crack a nut". The county council's scheme for the three-mile stretch of road between Codford and Heytesbury addresses all four accident blackspots, not just the Knook junction with the B390. It is supported by the three parish councils along the route, speaking on behalf of almost over 1,400 people as well as our MP, county and district councillors, the emergency services, road users, and countryside and commercial organisations.
For us this is not about blind ideology it is about survival! The CPRE claim to represent rural England, to my knowledge at no time have they consulted with the people of the Wylye Valley or any of the supporting organisations. Meanwhile the human and financial costs continue to rise at least 83 casualties since November 1997 costing in excess of £1.5 million.

Codford Parish Council
