In Park and Priory Village, the area’s local Lib Dem councillors have this week reinforced calls for a much needed pedestrian crossing near the junction with Danvers Road N8 and welcomed campaigning by residents on the issue.

Local Lib Dem councillor Lynne Featherstone comments:

“We need this crossing, as elderly people and mothers with buggies cannot run to dodge the speeding traffic as they try and cross Priory Road – nor should they have to. Traffic flow must not endanger lives.

“This location is directly outside the Priory sheltered housing and a nursery – let’s hope that the Labour Council will respond to local residents’ pleas to improve safety for vulnerable pedestrians rather than make their usual excuses for inaction.”
