‘Excellent’ St Mary’s road scheme wins a national transport award

Around 18 months of work has now finished and the Infrastructure Department say the whole project, which was designed to improve pedestrian safety in the parish, has cost around £865,000. The original budget was £800,000.

However, many people criticised the £250,000 expenditure on a granite speed hump and the structure, which some said looked like a roundabout, was later attacked by vandals who covered it in oil.

But now the improvement scheme has won the 2016 Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation Streets and Places Award and last year the project won the best landscape architecture award in the local Architecture Design Awards.
