Farhan Nasiem

To ask the Chief Executive to consider recent work carried out by a contractor on behalf of SDCC whereby the mini roundabout at the junction of St. James's Road and St. Joseph's Road was removed; there is now confusion on the part of many motorists when travelling through this junction - while a new stop sign and line have been put in place for traffic exiting St. Joseph's Road, a lot of the time drivers travelling in either direction along St. James's Road are still yielding to the traffic exiting from St. Joseph's Road. This is because the painted yield signs and the mini roundabout are appearing to oncoming traffic as though these are still in place. The road surface is uneven at this spot that the junction needs to be properly resurfaced and if a statement is available?
