Locals are furious after a controversial road junction which cost taxpayers £5.5 million and has been dubbed a 'deadly playground' was nominated for a top design award.
Last year the junction in Finchampstead, Berkshire, underwent a £5.5million makeover which saw it painted with an oak leaf design rather than traditional white stripes in a bid to make it more 'pedestrian-friendly'.
The new layout caused anger among locals who described it as an 'accident waiting to happen'.
At the time, more than 1,400 people demanded changes to the new intersection design.
But now the redesign has been shortlisted in the Active Travel Scheme of the Year category as well as Line Marking and Street Design.
