I AM writing in response to the article asking for a crossing to be put back where traffic lights were removed outside the Marriotts Walk shopping centre in Witney (Oxford Mail, January 11).

I was at the centre when David Cameron MP officially opened it and it was obvious to me that the crossing was still required, as I saw some near-misses.

I went straight to the district council office at Wood Green and a receptionist rang the relevant department.

I spoke to a gentleman and voiced my opinion. I have heard nothing back.
