WITH reference to D K Johnson's letter regarding the Poppleton traffic survey. I regularly use the junction which has the new traffic island.
I can assure him that it has made a vast improvement to crossing the road safely particularly with my two children aged three and five.
Traffic is also travelling more slowly between the ring road and level crossing because of them.
I have only lived in the area two years but frequently walk, cycle or drive along Longridge Lane and Millfield Lane. Long enough to have witnessed sheer recklessness with regard to cyclists, mainly by the drivers who are rat-running through the village.
It is a blessing there hasn't already been a serious accident.
Mrs S Taylor,
Calder Avenue,
Nether Poppleton,
York.
