Road safety called into question in St Margarets, Greater London

Residents in the southern town of St Margarets have expressed concern over the safety of motorists and pedestrians following three accidents which have taken place in as many weeks. The accidents occurred on The Avenue and St Margarets road, both of which feed into the St Margarets roundabout, and left a cyclist and a motorcyclist hospitalised.

On 3rd August, a motorcyclist in his 30s was involved in a collision with a car during rush hour, and on 24th July, a 62-year-old cyclist suffered serious head and spinal injuries in a hit-and-run incident. There was also a collision involving a motorcycle on 8th August.

Local resident Karla Mouncey-Jaggers, aged 24, said she witnessed a crash in the area recently. She said: “I think the motorbike driver was standing up but the passenger was on the ground. I didn’t want to look to see if the person was injured as I was too frightened. I was hoping to have kids soon and I’m a bit worried about the traffic”

Dean Fellows, 33, works on Chertsey Road, which adjoins the roundabout. Although he hasn’t seen any accidents on the roundabout itself, he has seen two on Chertsey Road. He described the junction as “ridiculously busy” and said that he and his colleagues have discussed the need for a flyover or underpass to relieve the congestion.

However, Valerie Pinnington, a pensioner living in the area, blamed drivers for the number of accidents. She said that there was no need to change the roundabout, adding “It’s safe enough; the lights are a bit confusing if you don’t know the area, but having said that, people must drive carefully.”

A similar debate is taking place in the Welsh village of Northop Hall. Last year, an 11-year-old boy was killed on a stretch of the A55 known to be an accident blackspot, and the Welsh Assembly is now undertaking a review of transport in the area. Their recommendations are expected in November.
