MBC confirm that new software will be fitted to the junction traffic lights to improve the traffic flow at the end of the Dixon’s Bank/Stainton Way Roadworks project, but admit that it will have little effect because there are three traffic flows going into one (that from the Southern Cross to Marton shops).
That was the Parish Council and many other groups point of objection to this scheme from the outset – that unless this section of road is debottlenecked no “improvements” to the junction will have any effect.
The Parish Council asked MBC if any funding is available to debottleneck the other sections of Stainton Way that will come under increasing pressure should this Dixons Bank scheme succeed. It appears clear that no funding or potential timescale is available, and the Parish Council will of course pursue this further.
