I recently had to go to Coleford from Bream where I live and had to use the T junction at the end of Bream Avenue where it joins the Coleford-Chepstow road only to discover it has been changed from a wide T-junction that all vehicles can use to a narrow T-junction with an island in the middle that only cars can use.

If a lorry going from Lydney to Coleford uses it it has to go up the bank on the left hand side to turn right to Coleford.

To turn left towards Chepstow they have to swing over onto the opposite side of the road facing oncoming traffic.

To turn left from Coleford to Lydney they have to swing out into oncoming traffic from the Chepstow direction to get through the narrow junction.

I would like to know whose idea this was to waste all this money of ours when, as you enter Bream from Lydney, the road is falling apart and feels like driving over ploughed field much the same as Whitecroft hill in lower Bream.

Re the Chepstow pollution problem. We all know what it needs, especially with more houses being built at Lydney, is a new Severn bridge!
