"Roundabouts are green" said a local councillor "traffic lights use energy 24/7, and do not guarantee economic flows of traffic".

The trouble is the council seems to have taken the "green" part too far... you can't see traffic coming at you around the roundabout until they round the last bend due to masses of tall greenery planted inside the roundabout circle.

And now they've started putting traffic lights on roundabouts!!
