In July the main street through Milford-on-Sea was resurfaced, and the work was excellently carried out, resulting in one of the smoothest roads in Hampshire. Now, only a couple of months later, the council threatens to dig it up and install a pinch point and a hump at the zebra crossing. This is absolute madness. If these features were considered necessary, they should have been put in at the time of the main roadworks, but they are not necessary. Drivers always stop most obligingly for pedestrians at the zebra crossing, and speeds are low. The council's own speed survey showed a highest average of 30.6mph, while at other points speeds were 26.4, 25.8 and 24.6 mph. What can be done to prevent such needless vandalism?
