CAMPAIGNERS are calling on a developer to protect them by amending multi-million-pound death trap plans to upgrade a busy road. Waterside Cycling Action Group (WCAG) wants a signal-controlled facility to be installed on the A326 near Dibden to protect walkers, horse riders and people exploring the area on two wheels. WCAG members say they fear proposed £8m changes to the Applemore roundabout will turn it into a death trap. Hampshire County Council is planning to upgrade several junctions on the A326 including the roundabout, where approaches and exit lanes will be widened. The £8m scheme aims to help the road cope with extra traffic generated by new housing, including the 1,500 homes due to be built by Fawley Waterside on the old Fawley power station site.
