I REGULARLY take my life in my hands crossing Chafey’s roundabout from the nature reserve path en route to Southill Therefore, I would be pleased to support a petition to have crossing lights installed.
I have to run this perilous vehicular gauntlet every Monday evening rush hour to attend Wessex Karate academy sessions at the Community Centre in Fieldbarn Drive. Fortunately the evening is well worth the risk, but I would sooner not have to tempt fate.
That said – although at 60 I am not as fleet-of-foot as I used to be – whenever asked if martial arts isn’t a tad dangerous to a mere pensioner, my riposte is: “If I can make it across that roundabout unscathed, I can survive anything.” Doug Milne Walpole Street Park District Weymouth.
