Sir - I hope with the devolution of powers from central to local government,they do not give any more power to the planner who decided to put a zebra crossing instead of a pelican under the arches on Croft Road.

I have been stuck in traffic so many times in Tybridge St for 15 minutes and longer just to find Castle St clear just because as one pedestrian crosses another gets on, no chance for a car to move.

Nothing against walking but when it brings the westside to a halt a compromise needs to be found.
