Lyneham Banks May 2004

The B4069 Lyneham Banks road which frequently subsides was at a seriously dangerous condition in the early spring of 2004, many villagers campaigned to the local council and county highways department to get the road repaired. The road is liable to subsidance owing to under surface erosion caused by spring courseways and the volume of heavy goods vehicles using the route.

This road was the former A420 Swindon to Chippenham main route prior to the M4 motorway being built in 1971.

The hare crossing has decided to take its life in its own hands by crossing the mountainous road surface. The road was repaired during May 2004 at a cost of over £250,000.
