That is one of the most amusing storys i have read on here for ages :D

Keep up the good work.

Yet AGAIN there was another accident at 17:00 Tuesday evening with a pedestrian knocked over, just happened as I went past - person collapased on road and ambulances just arriving. How long before someone is killed before they change this dangereous crossing?

Steve P, I doubt ifit was an 'accident' - a much abused and often inaccurately applied term by those not wishing to be accountable for their actions (to include society in general as well).

The crossing is using 'shared space' philosophy, whereby we, whether as users on foot, on a bike or in a car, van, lorry, etc are all supposed to abide by rules of the Highway Code.

Surely our understandable distress should be focussed at those whose role it is to 'manage' our roads and public places in general whereby miscreants are 'counselled' or prosecuted, etc, ie, for speeding, jumping lights or riding irresponsibly, etc, etc?

Where are the police? Are we content to be managed by remote cameras which are in turn managed by ...hang-on, who does manage them? Will I continue to vote for this?

Why not remember at the next election to ask candidates whether they plan to prioritise local places getting finacial funding to implicate this through proper managing and/or policing of our social places? Or, as the major parties covertly propose, will we continue to tribally vote for those that will continue send £46,000,000 per day to Brussels as our effort to pay for improvements on roads and crossings in foreign places?

The crossing isn't the problem: The problems are now holistically embedded within the entire management strata of UK society and the buffoons that vote them into office. Give me England & Great Britain back...

It needs a lollypop lady

It needs a bloke with a cattle prod to hold back pedestrians until they have a green light and some sort of heavy artillery emplacement to blast the vehicles that jump the red lights.
I know people who work in the buildings that overlook this area and they say there is hardly a day goes by without there being some sort of accident - so it would be very interesting to see just what statistics are being collected for accidents and incidents.

It needs an underpass.

An underpass - what a daft idea, that would cost too much to excavate and - oh wait...

I think it would be far more effective to build a pedestrian footbridge. I found some excellent designs in an old Dr. Seuss book which I think would serve... oh, I see someone's already beaten me to it.
I wonder if Dr. Seuss got any compensation for infringement of copywrite on the design?

Is there already not a underpass there? - to me it seems that as there is not a kerbstone - there is no barrier - having said that this casualty was fallen down in the middle of the road not at either side...

Last Friday I reported a taxi driving through red lights at the Morrison's crossing - I have yet to get so much as an acknowledgement for the email.
I even submitted photographic evidence.
It seems that no-one in authority cares if the general public are maimed or killed.

There should be a JR on every street corner, of every town the length and breadth of Britain. That's what I say!
