Work has begun to improve the dangerous junction at St Ann’s Road and Bury New Road – home of course to the world’s most redundant and daft set of traffic lights, installed only ten yards from an existing set and presumably designed by lunatics with the sole aim of causing mayhem.

I have been pressing for this for a year, after numerous residents complained, and I was delighted when the Council listened and said that they’d include the repairs in this year’s programme. Hopefully the work will run to schedule and be finished on time, removing the unnecessary and confusing second set of traffic lights, and leaving the junction safer for everyone concerned.
