Residents living in Westbury Avenue, N22 will be able to cross the road safely thanks to pressure from Lib Dem councillor Lynne Featherstone. The section of the busy Wood Green road at the parade of shops already has a speed hump and a crossing, but due to overgrown trees and poor signage, many drivers were failing to stop for pedestrians.

Cllr Featherstone contacted the Council after she was alerted to the problem by a local resident who was concerned about the possibility of a serious accident on the crossing. The large trees on the road have now been pruned to prevent them obscuring the current signs. In addition, the Council will be installing new signs this week for both approaches.

Cllr Featherstone comments:

“I am delighted that we have been able to secure some safety improvements to this busy road. Road safety is an absolute priority and we will continue to work with local residents to bring their concerns to the attention of the Council.”
