I was popping by the royal mail depot the other day and i agree - its a missed opportunity / a shambles. If you live in the area or even if you don't, it's worth writing an email / letter to councillors in the area requesting their thoughts and actions, and putting an FOI request in to see the road safety audit on the new and "improved" layout...

Not sure if this is the best place for this.
I was pleased to see in the summer that they were redesigning the junction at New North Road/Eagle Wharf Road/Poole Street to accommodate the new Royal Mail delivery office.
My heart sank when I attempted to turn right into Eagle Wharf road coming south over the canal on Monday.
TFL or whoever designed it had a chance to do it properly but no. A cyclist now has to wait in the middle of the road with two lanes of cars coming at you from both ways trying to change lanes with no provision whatsoever. It's a fucking disaster and it's only a matter of time before a cyclist is killed or seriously injured here.
Incidentally, this was the same junction I crashed into a Lambo all those years ago. It was shit then and it's even worse now. What a joke
