another intersection, another death, and the council does nothing. classic.

yep, roundabout would sort it out but nah too expensive apparently.

worked that road for years, it's a death trap. needs roundabout or lights.

pretty sure my cousin crashed there last year. scary stuff.

Peyton Hall2026-06-15T01:14:55.000Z

same thing happened near my place. took 3 deaths before they did anything.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-15T00:59:55.000Z

31 crashes since 2015? how many more before they fix it?

heard that noise before. nothing changes till a politician gets stuck there.

nurse is a legend for speaking up. council better listen.
