HCC councillor Ann Buckley received many complaints from Bedhampton and Leigh Park residents and has campaigned for improvements.

Funding has now been agreed and the proposed new £1.2m will now go forward for planning consent. Lib Dem activist and environmental campaigner Steve Marshall said "This will solve the problem in the road and will encourage more recycling."
