HOW I agree with the letter (April 23) about Canford Bottom roundabout.

Not only was it a total waste of money as the volume of Olympic traffic never materialised, it has done nothing to stop the jams on the A31.

It is very dangerous because of the confusion it causes as the painted road markings are usually obscured by standing traffic and because the lights are not synchronised correctly, particularly at the exit from Ham Lane. Traffic given a green light cannot proceed because of traffic blocking the junction, held on a red light.

To add insult to injury, it looks so neglected, with long grass and weeds where once was a beautifully landscaped roundabout with trees and shrubs.

Depressing. Of course, the authorities will never admit they made a huge mistake and it was far better as it used to be.
