Opponents of the proposed Poole gyratory system have appealed to Communities minister Eric Pickles to intervene.

Campaigners - who say the old-fashioned design will create a dangerous 'racetrack' - are also calling on Borough of Poole Council to hold an extraordinary meeting, to debate postponing work on the new one-way layout.

The plan's been signed off under urgency rules, to ensure it's built in time for the opening of the Twin Sails Bridge next year.
