THE mother of car crash victim Robert Jamieson has said Lancashire County Council will have blood on its hands if it fails to speed up plans to build a £600,000 roundabout at the junction where her son was killed.

Robert, 20, of King's Mead, Knuzden Brook, was killed when his Peugeot 106 car was in collision with a school bus on the deadly Oswaldtwistle crossroads in February 2005.

Sue Jamieson spoke out after a crash at the accident blackspot at the junction of Haslingden Old Road and Duckworth Lane on Sunday.

Yet Sue claimed LCC is still dragging its heels over plans to build a roundabout at the notorious Britannia Inn junction where he died, with work not scheduled until next year.

And Sue and her husband Robert fear it is inevitable someone else will be killed at the junction, meaning their son's life would have been taken in vain.

Sue said: "They have delayed the proposed roundabout until 2008. I'm really angry they have delayed these safety improvements. I just hope the council can live with it because I can't. There's an accident there every week.

"I feel like I'm waiting for someone else to die there. It's Russian roulette and it will happen. People drive through there with their hearts in their mouths. They are scared.

"Nobody is listening.

"I'm sat with my conscience thinking there's nothing I can do and somebody else is going to have to live with what I have to.

"I feel like I haven't done enough. I don't know who to go to and what to do to make them listen.

"What right have they got to defer it because they think it's not money well spent?"

A spokesman for Lancashire County Council said negotiations were taking place to buy land around the junction in order to build the roundabout.

He said: "We have reached agreement with one landowner and the purchase of land is being taken forward by our solicitors. The final piece of land needed for the roundabout is still the subject of discussions.

"We want to start work as soon as possible and the council is working hard to conclude the negotiations and will be able to move forward once the final piece of land is secured."
