AFTER the unfortunate power cut in and round the Springbourne area early on Tuesday morning (May 30), it was interesting to see how well the traffic flowed around the old Springbourne roundabout with the lights not working.
Millions have been spent on the junction over the last few years, and this is the first time I have never seen traffic backed up all along Holdenhurst Road during rush hour. It just goes to show that the traffic lights are not needed and should not have been put up in the first place. Traffic lights stop traffic, roundabouts keep traffic moving.
