Strouden Park: damaged pelican crossing console on Castle Lane

Looking along the busy Castle Lane West as it approaches the main Cooped Dean roundabout, the junction with the main road out of town. Behind us, beyond the roundabout, Castle Lane West becomes Castle Lane East. The pedestrian crossing here is in fact two separate crossings, one for each carriageway, with a central refuge. This console has had the front undone but it is still hanging there; there is another console just behind us so the button can still be pressed. I have just done so now, meaning that the lightbulb has come on (as can be seen) - it would usually illuminate the word WAIT which almost reads as TIAW as we see it as if from the inside.
