Because you are part of environment
Because humans are part of the environment Today the vegetation close to this ghastly fence was cut back to make sure drivers pulling out of Beach Valley Road had good vision up Seaview Road so they could do so safely. ‘People are part of the environment‘ is something we took on board when starting this project.

Is this pedestrian crossing ?
Concern expressed this looks like a pedestrian crossing It’s not unusual to see people standing at either end of this waiting for a gap in the traffic and then just stepping out.
