WITH reference to Cllr Mick Haines’ letter published on August 21 regarding taking out the roundabouts at the junction of Marsh Lane and replacing them with traffic lights.

In January 2005, I organised a petition to try to get traffic lights instead of the mini-roundabouts at the junction of Cherwell Drive and Marsh Lane.

After collecting almost 600 signatures and letters from the doctors at Marston Medical Centre and two people who had been knocked down and injured, I attended a meeting of Oxfordshire County Council to hand in my petition.

Living in Brookfield Crescent since 1939 until I moved to Thame in September 2005 the traffic at this junction has become horrendous.

So at last after 10 years, my efforts may have been rewarded with success.
