Weston MP John Penrose has written to the Roads Minister, urging him to remove ‘The Narrows’ in the centre of Banwell from the Primary Route Network.

He says that would allow a ban heavy lorries and therefore less congestion.

In his letter Mister Penrose has quoted Banwell Parish Council Clerk Kevin Barrett, who's described the A371 as “highly unsuitable” for HGVs due to its tight turns.
