Dear Spurtle,

Having lived in Bellevue Road for over 20 years, I can't remember a time when the crossing opposite Drummond Community High School was functional. 

I do remember the light in the middle never worked. And the day that the raised island sections were removed, which I hoped would mean it all was being removed. 

But no, a lamppost was left unlit and unmarked in the middle of the road. I complained to the Council who added a round Keep Left sign to the lamppost. Over the intervening years, more temporary signage has been added, and flattened, and added again. 

You don't need a degree in Transport Management (although I do have one) to realise the current arrangement is unsafe and unsightly.

How much longer must we endure 'Bellevue's Disgrace'?
