SIR - With reference to the report in the Gazette regarding the increased heavy goods traffic now using the A4135: is Dursley now being used as a short cut? This is a day and night problem and surely not all lorries are delivering to Dursley? With speeding cars and lorries Bull Pitch roundabout needs a pedestrian crossing and traffic-calming to force drivers to observe the correct roundabout procedures.

Residents of the Bull Pitch area are often kept awake by the noise created and, also, the public in general often have great difficulty in crossing this road. Perhaps Dursley Town Council can look into this matter with the relevant authorities to take action?
