This plaque commemorates the opening of Western Road in 1930. This was constructed by the County Council on the line of a narrow footpath called Walk Lane. I should think that its purpose was to enable main road traffic on what is now the A3072 to bypass the market square and the narrow entrance to it from Victoria Square.
