  • A429 Fosse Way Scrutiny Task Group Final Report
    A429 FOSSE WAY SCRUTINY TASK GROUP FINAL REPORT 1. Background The A429 Highway runs in a north easterly direction from Junction 17 of the M4 Motorway, (4 miles north of Chippenham in Wiltshire), to Coventry in the West Midlands). For much of its length, the A429 follows the route of the Roman Fosse Way, linking Exeter in the South West of England to Lincoln, via, Bath, Cirencester and Leicester. The A429 is a strategic ‘A Class’ rural road with a predominantly single track carriageway. An intermittent pedestrian provision is provided along part of the route. Traffic flows are between 6,000 and 15,000 vehicles a day, with an estimated HGV flow of 200 to 300 vehicles per day. The A429 has few speed restrictions other than when passing through communities where speed limits are restricted to 50 mph and 40 mph. Speed limits of 30 mph are the norm through major town centres. At the Environment and Communities Scrutiny Committee meeting on 14 September 2015, members considered a request from Cllrs Paul Hodgkinson and Nigel Moor for the committee to undertake a review of concerns relating to road safety on the A429 Fosse Way in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire. Terms of reference were presented to the Overview and Scrutiny Management Committee on 20 November 2015, where it was agreed a scrutiny task group would be established to consider congestion and road safety issues on the A429, with the 8 Gloucestershire County Councillors whose divisions are located in the Cotswold District, invited to form the membership of the group.
