It is all right for you snazy, you look a rather intelligent looking dog and I'm sure you'll have no trouble crossing.
Sorry my quote was over truncated for your liking, but I did go on to concede that this crossing disaster area will indeed be able to be avoided by those who come from further south, by crossing earlier.
But why would anyone create this situation in the first place?
My point remains that those who walk from the underpass to the bus stop, or the busy footpath short-cut onto Church rise have lost any formal crossing point (tactile paving and lowered kerbs, let alone island) .
So council tax payers, are you happy that the council will potentially find themselves picking up any civil claim if someone gets run over here? Removing crossings looks pretty negligent to me.
To my eye the safest place to cross will be at the Church rise apex where it looks like you will be able to see the furthest either direction.
A ramp facility/tactile paving needs to be provided at this point as a minimum to match the crossing facility further north.
Make it so Mr. Hepworth.
