Bellevue's dangerous disgrace

 

Dear Spurtle,

Having lived in Bellevue Road for over 20 years, I can't remember a time when the crossing opposite Drummond Community High School was functional. 

I do remember the light in the middle never worked. And the day that the raised island sections were removed, which I hoped would mean it all was being removed. 

But no, a lamppost was left unlit and unmarked in the middle of the road. I complained to the Council who added a round Keep Left sign to the lamppost. Over the intervening years, more temporary signage has been added, and flattened, and added again. 

You don't need a degree in Transport Management (although I do have one) to realise the current arrangement is unsafe and unsightly.

How much longer must we endure 'Bellevue's Disgrace'?

PUZZLING PLACES AND PEOPLE

Submitted by Editor on

Whole greater than parts

 
This is a puzzle. 
 
Each clue links to both a place and, with one exception, a named individual. 
 
There are 12 places and 11 individuals and something else to name.
 
Confusingly, as well as the 12 places mentioned above, all the clues are linked to a single, different place.
