Rejected petition Stop the roadworks at Junction 13 on the M65

New road works have been started to add traffic lights to the roundabout at J13 on the M65, these are not needed. This roundabout works perfectly for 23 hours a day and is busy during 'rush hour'. Adding traffic lights will add to the waiting time for the whole day, which is not needed.
