This crucial junction, located near West Horrington where the B3135 meets the B3139 Bath Road just outside the Mendip Hills national landscape, has a troubling history of accidents. Over the past two decades, Whitnell Corner has seen 67 collisions, including 15 serious injuries and one fatality in 2019. With a 60 mph speed limit on all approaches, the junction’s safety has been a growing concern for residents and local authorities alike.
