I think Earl makes a very good point that needs considering here - idling cars left that junction 4 years ago (and this is a good thing) but since then the council has spent more and more money on redesigning the junction over and over again.
The question remains, and to Earl's point about the cars going 4 years ago and the fact every works has been just to tweak the design - you have to ask why? Can anyone pinpoint what has changed to warrant the £1.5m of tax-payers money - it seems to me all they have done is increase the risk to pedestrians, slowed down emergency service access and removed parking which is of detrimental impact to the shops. Oh and put in really expensive and environmentally unfriendly paving and added a couple of new benches and new traffic lights.
Reminds me of touts in India, showing you to a bus seat, but we're not official. And the guy that sold me a meal on the train only to disappear. I'm probably a pound or two out of pocket
I also got threatened by a drunk railway bloke in Hungary who tried to take money off me
All good anaddotes!
