Controversial mannequin-style traffic figures have been branded 'creepy' and 'dangerous' by residents in Buckinghamshire.

The bollards, known as Bill and Belinda, have been installed by Iver District Council in an aim to improve road safety outside schools. They have been placed near Iver infant and junior schools in a bid to deter drivers from speeding. The bollards, which cost £5,395, aim to fool drivers into thinking a child is waiting to cross the road.
