"Avoid Town Centre" Warminster Roadworks Signs To Be Taken Down
« on: April 12, 2008, 12:34:46 PM »

Signs advising motorists to avoid Warminster town centre because of roadworks are due to be removed after numerous complaints from shopkeepers (link below.)
http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/latestheadlines/display.var.2185766.0.traders_anger_over_town_signs.php

Mark Brassington, owner of Jacqueline's Restaurant and Tearooms in the High Street, expressed his frustration over the signs after poor trade from roadworks carried out last year almost drove him out of business.

The signs explained that Morrison, a utility service provider specialising in water, energy, power and communications, were carrying out gas mains repair work until May 2 and advised motorists to avoid the town centre.

After complaints from local shopkeepers, plans have been made by Wiltshire County Council to take down the signs on the advice of Warminster Town Council.

Mr Brassington claimed his business lost more than £20,000 due to six-month long roadworks through the town last summer.

Controversial roadworks through Warminster, which have caused misery for many businesses in the town, will be in place for another year (link below.)

A meeting with local businesses has been called after plans were revealed for phase two of the town centre improvement plans.

The work, to start on June 29, will see certain parts of the High Street closed and many routes made into a one-way system.

Delays are expected with traffic being diverted through Fairfield Road, avoiding more commercial areas of the town.
