Ms Murphy said: 'I have been living on the estate for about four years and it's shocking as you are trying to get out because you have to go across two lanes of traffic '“ you are dicing with death.

'There has been three or four serious accidents since I've lived here and other people who live on the estate have said there were more before then.'

Ms Murphy said a petiton had been launched, caling for traffic lights to be installed at the junction or for the pedestrian crossing to be moved.

She added: 'It's either going to take somebody to get killed or seriously hurt for them to do something. It is the only way in and out of the estate and it's a big estate.'
