A crossroads in north Shropshire that has been deemed one of the most dangerous roads in the Midlands could be turned into a roundabout.

The Shropshire Star reports that more than 140 people attended a public meeting at Llanymynech Memorial Hall on Thursday evening to hear what can be done to improve the Llynclys crossroads, on the A483 near Oswestry.

It was organised by Helen Morgan, the MP for North Shropshire, who has long campaigned for improvements at the crossroads.

Also in attendance were representatives from National Highways, West Mercia Police and Shropshire Council, and Steve Witherden, the MP for neighbouring Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr in Wales.

Joe Walmsley, route manager at National Highways, said the authority has been looking at the area “for quite a while now”.

“We have been working with Helen and local authorities to look at what we can do about that,” he said.

“We are looking at three separate projects. The first one is looking at drainage and road surface upgrades, and two that are safety-related. “We are taking forward proposals for a route safety scheme, which will look at various different things like speed limits, road signage, visibility of road markings, and enforcement.”
