After several trips through the new St Mary’s Junction at different times of the day, and enquiries with friends and colleagues, I believe it only fair to record my satisfaction with this design.

The format was the subject of much criticism over the past 12 months and I consider it just to give credit where it is due.

Congratulation to Cllr Ward and the Island Roads team for bringing this through in the face of much condemnation.
