Slip road plan redrawn

SOUTH Gloucestershire Council has had to redraw plans for a new slip road for the Mangotsfield Sort It centre.

The council has been unable to implement a scheme given planning permission in June of last year, due to what a report described as “land ownership issues that prevented South Glos Council implementing the design”.

So it has now redrawn the proposed design, “realigning the slip road to avoid the common land” and also making changes to traffic lights and signs needed for the scheme.

The new application was submitted to the council’s own planning department in April and is awaiting a decision.
