IT is disturbing to think what goes on in the minds of those who control us.

In Oldfield Brow - at the junction of Oldfield Road with Gorsey lane - a traffic island has recently appeared, with a resulting removal of street lamps and extension of the pavement. There is also, within 100 yards, a 'chicane' which only allows one vehicle at a time to pass.

To compound the problem there is also a bus stop between the two - so the obvious question is has this been designed by someone who is mentally disadvantaged?
