Safety signs will finally be introduced at Southend seafront’s shared space.
Well, well, well. I guess
the concept doesn't work, then, Tony?
The signs, the wording of which is yet to be finalised, will warn drivers to look out for people crossing the road. They are expected to be in place within the next few weeks.
And what about that
other 'shared area', the one in front of the
Southend Victoria train station? Will that also get signs?
However Tony Cox, the Tory councillor responsible for transport, insisted the move was certainly not a U-turn.
Why, no!
Perish the thought!
He said: “We have never said we will not introduce signs.
“Now we have listened to what people have said and taken this step.”
No, you've been forced into it by the stunning lack of success of your mad scheme. How's that knee, Tony? Jerking quite nicely now, isn't it?

When a mealy-mouthed local politician, with delusions of adequacy is forced into a humiliating climb-down ..
When it's a 'fine adjustment to policy'?

I am suffering from a post-birthday hangover and first parsed this as 'Tiny Cox'.
Works for me.

A Freudian misreading..? ;)
