Fatal A370 crash, record pothole repairs and a tax warning: one week on North Somerset's roads
Auditors' budget warning coincided with a fatal Long Ashton collision and the council's record pothole repair figures.
North Somerset's roads were the subject of three separate reports in two days. A person was pronounced dead after a collision on the A370 in Long Ashton, the North Somerset Times and Weston Mercury reported [3][4]. Separately, volunteers collected 55 types of litter during a Weston-super-Mare beach clean [8], and nominations opened for the Bath and North East Somerset Community Awards [5].
