A disgruntled local councillor has hit out at road improvements in Yeovil which he claims have made traffic worse.
District councillor Peter Gubbins has said that amendments to the Hospital Roundabout were a "major mistake" have created "massive queues" in the town.
He believes money left over from other projects in the town should be used to rectify the area, and not be sent to bolster projects in different parts of the county.
Writing to Somerset Live , Cllr Gubbins said: "At a recent council meeting where SCC Highways gave their report on the position of the Western Corridor, I asked when they would be looking at the Eastern Corridor which they recently completed to make sure the system was working.
"I stated that they must re-look at the Reckleford and Hospital Roundabout area, which is causing a massive queue right down to the fire station.
"In the improvement of this roundabout they took out a lane from the Reckleford approach to the roundabout to make a dedicated lane feeding to Princes Street."
He added: "This was a major mistake as traffic seldom bears left there, in fact, before the alteration traffic just filtered left to Princes Street without any problems.
"We now have only two lanes feeding the hospital roundabout and it is causing major queues.
"I requested they look at this again and consider taking out the dedicated lane and leave the three lanes as was."
It was recently agreed that leftover money from the Western Corridor project in Yeovil would be transferred to a M5 junction project near Taunton.
The scheme at junction 25 of the motorway will cost just over £19.2M - more than £500,000 higher than the original estimates - and leftover money from Yeovil will be used to make up the shortfall, SCC recently confirmed .
Cllr Gubbins added: "I am amazed that Cllr Faye Purbrick who represents the Yeovil South Ward voted in favour of the surplus funding going to Taunton.
"I am very disappointed that a Yeovil Councillor would agree for funding to be moved to Taunton before the problems stated above are reconciled."
In reply, a spokesman for Somerset County Council said the projected underspend for the Yeovil Western Corridor improvements "cannot simply be kept or used generally for other road schemes".
They said: "This is because it has a number of funding sources, each subject to specific terms and conditions.
"In the case of LEP funding, they are entitled to receive back a proportion of any underspend. However, because the LEP is also part funding the Junction 25 scheme, it has been agreed in principle to use the underspend for this instead.
"It would not be possible to use this underspend on the Eastern Corridor – without this agreement the funding would go towards another LEP-funded project outside of Somerset.
