Read the original article on bbc.com (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports a councillor's complaint that a crossing upgrade in Maidstone, near the site of a fatal crash last year, has stalled. It sets out the responses of Kent County Council and the developer Redrow, and gives residents' accounts. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“Councillor Geoffrey Samme said work on new traffic lights and pedestrian crossings at the roundabout at Royal Engineers' Road and Staceys Street in Maidstone had "ground to a halt".”
The article attributes the complaint that work has stalled to the councillor by name and in quotation marks, rather than stating it in its own voice.
“Kent County Council (KCC) said it was working closely with a developer and contractor to make sure work was completed as quickly as possible.”
The council responsible for the crossing gets its response, so the reader hears both the complaint and the authority's account.
