On December 2016 commenced an investigation into the death of Margaret Olive PINE (Mrs Pine), D.O.B. 5'h July 1925, age 91_ The investigation concluded on August 2017 . The conclusion of the inquest was that Mrs Pine died from the injuries she received as a result of a road traffic collision:

On the 7/h December 2016 Mrs Pine was the front seatepassenger in a car driven by her friend with another friend in the rear of the car. AlI three ladies had been out for the evening to play bingo were returning from Westwood near Bideford, North Devon; to their homes in Barnstaple at approximately 9.30pm_ The weather conditions were poor; it was raining, very misty and foggy: The driver of the car; turned left at the Roundswell roundabout off the A39 with the intention of heading towards the Cedars roundabout between Sticklepath and Bickington near Barnstaple. This route would have taken her across two further roundabouts before turning right at the Cedars roundabout In the became disorientated and made one wrong turn Once she found her way back to the road linking the Roundswell roundabout with the Cedars roundabout she then proceeded but instead of turning right at the Cedars roundabout she turned right at the roundabout immediately before the Cedars roundabout: Continuing down this road without turning left into a residential development the road is closed off by a wall with which Icollided. Next to the wall is a cycle path and a footpath but that is not wide enough for a car to travel down: The police that attended thescene_described the visibility as very poor and that they were almost adjacent to car when they found her vehicle. During the course of the Inquest it was identified that the entrance to this road from the roundabout does not have any sign advising drivers that this is a dead end, nor indeed does the wall blocking off the road have any form of warning reflective strips to identify this being a no through road. 23rd 24th They Ho, fog;

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and believe you [ANDIOR your organisation] have the power to take such action:
