Traffic lights between Barton Road & the A580 Lancaster Road

Having lived near this junction for over 10 years, I have seen numerous accidents from small prangs to the one that happened on that fateful Sunday where two innocent young persons lost there lives, for the price of a set of lights.
How Councillor Gena Merrett can call this a "knee-jerk reaction to a single event" is frightening and totally misguided, it just goes to show that these people do not live in the real world. If they came out of their ivory tower more and got face to face with the ordinary people who elected them to their position they would gain more credibility.
I find it truly amazing that the death of two young people does not warrant the council spending taxpayers money to provide something that clearly taxpayers want, however they are more than happy to spend it on white elephants like a guided bus route which clearly is not wanted by the majority of people in Salford.
