Eyesore

Shrubs and flowers on a roundabout? What this needs is some artistic genius from the Highways Dept. to come and root up all the plants then cover the soil with a mound of stone chippings. One only has to look at the Ponsandane roundabout to see what can be achieved with a little imagination... (oh dear, my over-active sarcasm gland appears to have flared up again!)
It is the new minimalist approach to spacial concept and landscaping ... if the cost is minimal, then it is approved. These roundabouts that are kept like this beauty are a marker of what the County and the Town stand for, so keep them ....
 
The treneere roundabout; the shrubs and plants complement each other and don t block visibility like some do, i.e. the Morrisons roundabout.
 
Whenever we come home my other half says how lovely the roundabouts look, compared with thoose where we now live. They do look good, but visibility is an issue. I pass our local industrial estate on tmy commute and onefancy roundabout there is big enough to hide a container lorry behind, a hazard as many drivers approaching along the by-pass ignore roundabout priorities and expect everyone to give way to them. The Mount Misery roundabout worries me although I acknowledge it is nothing llike as bad.
