In February, Black Dog Crossroads was rated the 7th most dangerous junction in Wiltshire.  Since then there have been more accidents, thankfully without fatalities.  In February the responsible Wiltshire councillor was asked to ensure that the Parish Councils around the site be consulted about any risk reduction measures.  In June, Atkins, (the consultants that ignored local advice and proposed a 50mph speed limit between the Chocolate Poodle and Potterne), started assessing the junction.  You may have seen red markings on some of the kerb stones.  Currently the Parish Councils have not been contacted for advice.  When Wiltshire Council opens this process to public consultation, this will be publicised widely by the local Parish Councils so that people using the junction will be able to have their say on any proposals.
