For far too long Winterbourne Stoke and other villages in the area have been blighted by the A303 traffic problems.
Now a bypass seems imminent and the emphasis has shifted to make sure we get the best route preference the village.

A303 - The Highway to Hell
It is Monday 30th December 2013. It is raining heavily, 10mm already this morning, and it is blowing a gale; though not as bad as it was a week ago in the run-up to Christmas. The great New Year exodus will begin today, with folks travelling east and west along the A303. Of course, minds will be a little more focused than they were last week, particularly in relation to the flooding of the A303 between the Podimore and Cartgate Roundabouts in Somerset.
At the moment, Cartgate looks like this:
and Podimore looks like this:
The weather does look to be clearing a bit from the West, so there is some hope the rain will stop - at least for a while.
But if the traffic gets bad and you get stuck on the A303, what can you do to pass the time? Well, how about a bit of karaoke? What better track to sing along to than AC/DC's Highway to Hell. It sort of sums up the A303 experience at the moment. Enjoy:
