Mixed reaction from residents at proposal to install traffic lights on Thackerays Lane roundabout. The planned works are expected to be carried out early next year and would include 2 pedestrian crossings. So far the reaction from locals has been mixed.Nigel Haversage of Wensley road supports the idea, saying "The roundabout has become increasinly dangerous for pedestrians. Everytime I cross I feel like I take my life in my hands". However, Maureen McGrath argues that the traffic controls will increase congestion "The roads surrounding the roundabout are congested enough without adding more uselses pedestrian traffic controls".
