Update on the Langley Mill roundabout

It has been acknowledged by ASDA and local council that Langley Mill island is not as safe as it could be.
Plans are now afoot to change lane discipline from two to one by removing the white lining as well as hatchings around the centre.
Apparently ASDA have agreed to fund the imminent changes.
Community and public pressure is NOW required and quickly before this minor work is carried out.
We need to press for better traffic control i.e PEDESTRIAN CROSSING WITH LIGHTS.
The island needs to be safer to negotiate for pedestrians  travelling from Langley Mill to Eastwood & visa versa.
There is a good possibility that public pressure can make this happen

  1. I fear posting an email to the Parish Council would have as much effect as trying to top up Loscoe Dam by peeing into it !

    1. I haven't stopped laughing since I read this comment ... you mean our illustrious Parish Council wouldn't take any notice of us - never!

Be nice, I'm very sensitive.
