SOUTH West Wiltshire MP Dr Andrew Murrison has welcomed plans to conduct a safety study on the A36 between Warminster and Salisbury.
He has received a letter from National Highways in response to his with useful information about its safety study of the A36 between Warminster and Salisbury.
The study follows a series of serious road traffic collisions, some of which have resulted in serious injuries and fatalities.
Dr Murrison's latest enquiry was prompted by concerns expressed to him about the A36/B390 junction at Knook following an incident on Tuesday, August 16.
A man in his 80s was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a collision between a lorry and a car at the dangerous junction.
In his letter to Dr Murrison, Duncan Smith of National Highways said its Road Safety Team is due to report initial findings before the end of the year.
Dr Murrison said: "I use the A36 all the time and am acutely aware of its blackspots. The promised review is very welcome and I look forward to seeing it together with proposed remedial measures."
The letter highlighted minor works done recently to improve visibility at the Cotley roundabout at Heytesbury at the request of the local parish council.
