The current state of the A120 continues to have a devastating impact on a national level.
The key areas of concern include: The continued loss of life on a road which is difficult for motorists to navigate and drive along; the increasingly poor quality of life for residents; and the lack of economic growth due to poor transport links which have implications on a national scale.
