Keith Prentice wrote to Luke Geraghty Luke.Geraghty@kier.co.uk voicing his concerns regarding the switch in April. He was asked if he was prepared to share the content of his email with other villagers who may have similar concerns and perhaps be prompted to pick up the pen.
Keith has met with keir his update follows below his original email:
Hi Luke,
I attended the A417 event at the Star College. It was as usual very informative - many thanks. However I was astonished to hear that when the A417 is switched to the new A436 at the Air Ballon junction in April it will only be one lane up to the Shab Hill junction. The obvious rat run is Birdlip Hill, Brimpsfield, Eklestone, Highwayman, a route favoured by satnavs. Your plea to drivers to ignore satnavs will inevitably be ignored and life for residents on the rat run will be a nightmare until the A417 opens. Is it too late to revisit the ‘one up, one down’ decision and get two lanes going up to make life no worse than it currently is.
Yours sincerely
Keith Prentice
UPDATE FROM KEITH:
I visited the customer hub this morning and had a full and frank discussion about the plan for a 'one up one down' A436/A4117 up the hill from the Air Balloon junction in April. Essentially when it happens it will last 5 weeks and it is acknowledged that there will be disruption. They can't make it two lanes up and one down because Kier need safe access to the margins. Personally I think the likely traffic chaos on a critical road artery should make Kier re-think. It will tae a substantial weight of opinion to get Kier to revisit.

LATEST UPDATE FROM KEITH - TUESDAY 20th JANUARY
I visited the A417 visitor centre this morning and was told that the threat of a single lane each way up the hill from the Air Balloon to the new junction at the top of the hill has been lifted and the stretch will now be two lanes up and one lane down when it opens in April. From the new Birdlip junction to the Highwayman will be single carriageway, as it is now on the old 417. For the 5 weeks that this arrangement is planned the Cowley junction will remain closed.
Please feel free to pass on this information.
