'The recent fatality has certainly spiked awareness of this issue.'
He said: “This roundabout both links and divides our communities.“I think it's definitely the volume of the cars. Also, the speed at which they travel, because even though there is a 30mph limit, sometimes that is broken.“A major one is also walkability. Lots of people are complaining about that, stating that they tried to cross with a pram and were almost injured.“But the issue has been on our community council’s agenda since we started the Love Thornwood group.
Based on the 250-plus responses they have received so far, more than 80% of participants said 'no' when asked 'is Thornwood roundabout safe?'Mr Rufrancos, 35, added:"I think it’s really important to get the grounds laid to do something about it, given that there is broad community support. “In general, I feel that there seem to be issues with night visibility and the speed at which people come down the expressway."
As part of the bid to raise more awareness, Whiteinch and Jordanhill community councils are also raising the issue in their upcoming meetings.
