This one, Perkinsville and the one at Blind Lane/Park Road North.

I firmly believe the one at Perkinsville was a balls-up. The council tried to do something, found either that they couldn't get the land or there wasn't enough space, before finally reverting back to the original road-layout and bodging a roundabout from that.

This new one, in my view, took an unusually long time to complete. As a daily user of the A693, nothing seemed to happen for weeks on end then, all of a sudden, the roundabout appeared and, over the last two weeks, works have been going on at night to presumably meet the deadline.
