Someone somewhere in Abingdon Council has decided that they need TWO new Pelican crossings: light controlled pedestrian crossings. They have put one near where we live and I think it is in one of the most inappropriate places possible: I don't believe anyone crosses the road there. I'll monitor it ... must cost thousands and thousands to erect things like that. A Zebra crossing would have been much more appropriate and much less costly. The other one they built is on a BEND in the road nearer to town. Who are the people who think of these things? DW
