• To provide an upgraded crossing at the location you have requested would sit within the boundary of the Local Highway Authority and as such is not a matter for National Highways on this occasion. However, I would agree that an upgraded crossing here would be of benefit but would suggest that the existing crossing to the east of the junction (although less direct) is more appropriate. I note that there is a desire line worn within the verge linking the Sustrans route and the eastern crossing and an improvement here would fall into the remit of National Highways. Unfortunately, our funding allocation for the current Roads Investment Strategy (RIS 2) is fully allocated and we are unable to progress a scheme here in the short term. Your request for upgraded facilities including provision of direction signing has been recorded on our needs list and we will of course reconsider should any alternative funding become available in the meantime.
