A string of calamitous decisions by our head councillor Tony Troughton has culminated in the installation of a traffic light system on Straight Road, Old Windsor.
This all stems from the pedestrianisation of the local shops a few years back, which forced all traffic to use just one junction. This, inevitably, led to tragedy when a local resident was killed earlier this year.
This has triggered Troughton to impose a 30mph speed limit on the road as well as install a set of traffic lights on a 3 month trial basis.
It has only been a matter of days since the installation and the lights are already causing havoc for anyone driving through Old Windsor. If every single one of us can see within a few days that these lights are a bad idea, it beggars belief that the council need 3 months to make up their mind.
Please therefore sign this petition and also join the Facebook group "Say NO to the Old Windsor traffic lights system!"
Thank you.
Tony Troughton is ignoring the gridlock he created while we sit in traffic watching our neighborhood fall apart. I am spending my time documenting the absolute disaster at the junction so the council cannot pretend these lights are working.

The sheer number of people backing this fight proves that the entire community sees through Tony Troughton and his disastrous traffic plan. We are forcing the council to pay attention to the chaos they created on Straight Road. This momentum is just the start of making them realize these lights have to go.

Absolute nightmare getting home from work yesterday. The traffic was backed up all the way to the roundabout and no one was moving. Get rid of them now.

Total waste of money! Traffic was fine before these lights showed up. Now it takes me twice as long to get the kids to school. Tony has no clue what he is doing.

Fix the road layout properly instead of sticking these lights everywhere. It creates more danger not less. Just take them out.
