In response to K Lavender’s letter in last week’s Echo – he/she says the [temporary] northern roundabout ‘has caused considerable hold-ups and frustrations’. 

Whilst the main street in Lennox has been frustrating – being blocked due to improvements – the new roundabout has appeared virtually overnight to alleviate any frustration. It is way better to access Lennox now.

Phil Ogden, Lennox head
