Roundabout is still chaotic
11:14am Thursday 24th April 2008
RECENTLY my wife and I had reason to sample the "magic roundabout" at Whitebirk.
It's a bit like a Formula One racing circuit with traffic lights, with cars switching lanes and going round the block at least twice, at 30 plus mph.
It is no better than 30 years ago when it was unadopted. When we made our return journey and approached the M65, we were greeted with a sign saying east and west.
I thought how jolly for new visitors to the town and newcomers moving in.
There is still the old fashioned friendship among motorists. Drivers still wave to one another, some using one finger, some using two. What do other drivers think about the roundabout?
F CROMPTON, Lightbown Street, Darwen.

Most of the folk struggling with it are those of an older era.
