Deerdale Lane
The improvement scheme at Deerdale Lane has been omitted from the funding bid. Due to the complexity of removing the hidden dip on the A614 close to the Deerdale Lane junction, as well as the costs of diverting underground utilities equipment, it was decided that the scheme could not be progressed.
The County Council will now look at a low-cost alternative solution for this junction.

- estimated cost £100,000
Warren Hill - updated October 2020
