Why give the job of "sorting" the roundabout out to the very people that caused the problem in the first place.
Railways, roads, health, benefits are all run by people that have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

We'd still like local people to let us have their views of our proposals [unquote]
In other words "I'm paid {handsomely} to sort these problems but I would gladly pick the brains of the people in the know and if they come up with a better solution I can claim the credit.
