Accidents reinforceneed for action on relief road
TWO serious accidents on the A274 SuttonRoad in asmany days have led to fresh calls for an up- date onprogress for the Leeds-Lan- gley relief road. A schoolboy was hit on Tuesday,
March 13, and two days later, aman was airlifted to hospital after a colli- sion between a car and a lorry. Campaigners said they did not
wish tomake capital out of the inci- dents but did claim it illustrates a need for a bypass to relieve growing volumes of traffic. Major house- building schemes in the area are likely tomakemattersworse. The boy – aged 12 or 13 andwear-
ing school uniform– suffered a sus- pected broken leg after being hit by a car at the junction of Sutton Road andWillington Street. Kent county councillor Paul
Cooper said: “This is a busy road and there is always going to be a risk of incidents like
this.Alot of the traffic that goes down the road doesn’t need to be there, and if there was a relief road, it wouldn’t be.
Leeds-Langley relief road and WILLact cam- paigner Jenny Sutton and Kent county councillor Paul Cooper
Whenwe talk about the relief road, we always seemto be talking about the congestion rather than the safety aspect, and these sorts of incidents will be less likely to happen.” Jenny Sutton, a campaigner for
WILLact and a resident ofWilling- ton Street, admits that there are con- cerns about
the danger to
pedestrians. “When my daughter and two
grandchildren try to cross the road to get tomy house, one of us has to try and stop the traffic,” she said.

dent, and this one –with the young child – goes to show the risks. The relief road can’t come soon enough.” A newnon-political pro-relief
group headed by former Langley parish councillor Wendy Young has been formed to represent all thosewho live along the B2163, in the same way thatWILLact repre- sentsWillington Street. It is called Leeds-Langley Relief RoadAction Group.
