    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Further highway actions depend on effectiveness, affordability and successful public consultation, preventing an unconditional commitment to undertake additional works.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “There is a meeting arranged for later this month with local residents and the Police to ascertain local concerns and to consider further actions, should they be necessary. Any further actions will be dependent on an assessment of whether the works proposed are likely to be effective in reducing the accident pattern identified, whether the proposals are affordable and on a successful public consultation.”
