Family farm 'working to promote safety on A371'

Wells Journal

|

May 15, 2025

A ROAD safety event has been held to discuss the local challenges facing the A371 route.

- KIRSTIE MCCRUM kirstie.mccrum@reachplc.com

Councillor Claire Sully organised the discussion forum at the Bath and West Showground on May 6.

Its purpose was to discuss with the highways department various ways to address road safety challenges. Coun Sully highlighted progress on the A371 in her division, such as speed restrictions, enhanced signage, and targeted safety measures.

She said they were achieved through community engagement and guided by expert advice from Somerset Council and the police with the goal of reducing accidents and saving lives. The event was supported by Ansford Parish Council and hosted by Carol Paris, CEO of Bath and West, at the Rural Enterprise Centre.

It brought together local representatives, police, community leaders, Somerset Council, local businesses and MP Anna Sabine to focus on making roads safer for communities.

From Sudan to Wells – mayor shares his remarkable story

IS truth sometimes stranger than fiction? Quite possibly. Could you write it? A ten-year-old boy from the Sudan, speaking no English, arrives in London in 1981. Forty-four years later he becomes the 651st Right Worshipful Mayor of a beautiful, quintessential tiny English city in the rural south-west of England. True or false? Totally true. We are talking about Councillor Louis Agabani and, of course, we are talking about Wells, and we are at the November meeting of Wells Civic Society, where Louis told his story.
