A45 safety fence call after girl's death
Calls have been made for a high fence to be erected along a busy road following the death of a teenager.
People living near to the A45 in Northampton have called for the fence to be built to stop youngsters being able to access the 70mph dual carriageway, playing "Russian Roulette" with their lives.
Currently there are gaps in the trees and hedges along the road, as well as an opening at the bottom of Stratford Drive, in Wootton, allowing access for people who can climb through.
Sophie Bywaters, 13, died after she was hit by a van while trying to cross the busy duel carriageway, near Wootton, in Northampton, last week.
A Highways Agency spokesman said: "We are continuing to investigate the two options identified last year – improving links to the existing bridge at Wootton Fields and providing fencing along the A45."
