Traffic signal repairs to add to Trowbridge roadworks delays

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 06:15 · Archive

Wiltshire Council plans traffic signal repairs at Frome Road and College Road in Trowbridge from November 2, drawing resident complaints about mounting disruption.

Wiltshire Council has announced essential traffic signal repairs at the Frome Road and College Road junction in Trowbridge beginning Monday, November 2. The work is expected to take around two days and will be carried out during off-peak hours, with temporary multi-way traffic signals and a pedestrian crossing in place.

The announcement has drawn criticism from residents already frustrated by ongoing road disruption. West Ashton Road is completely closed, forcing traffic to use Frome Road, which will itself be affected by the repairs. Residents questioned why the work could not have been scheduled during school holidays to minimise disruption.

Several residents voiced complaints about the mounting delays. One described Saturday as 'a nightmare to get home', adding that 'it is non-stop, every week something else'. Another said getting between White Horse Business Park and the area near Tesco was 'absolutely awful', while a third remarked that 'the patience is wearing very thin'.
