A RESIDENT fears homeowners will be “trapped” if a new access road is not completed within a Shaftesbury estate.
A contractor will now be appointed by Shaftesbury Town Council, costing the authority around £1,750, to find out why a promised road connecting Maple Road with Wincombe Lane, known as the spine road, has not yet been delivered to the Maltings estate and what needs to be done next.
Heard during the latest full council meeting, Maltings estate resident Tony Reeve told councillors that individuals at the north of the eastern development could not leave their homes on Monday, January 11, as tarmacking was taking place along Indus Road into Maple Road - currently their only exit.
