A busy road in South Ribble is finally getting a new zebra crossing after a near decade-long campaign to make the route safer for pedestrians and cyclists.South Ribble Borough Council leader Jacky Alty told a cabinet meeting at which the scheme was given the green light that there was “clearly a need” for the new crossing point.“There is increased traffic, there are developments…and it only takes one motorway to close and we’re backlogged.
Fellow Farington East representative Paul Wharton-Hardman has been pushing for the safety measure since not long after first being elected nearly 10 years ago – and has previously said it was “desperately” important. There have been two collisions in the past five years within 100 metres of the entrance to Farington Park – both of which involved cyclists being hit by vehicles. It is hoped the chosen location will prevent cyclists leaving the park and riding directly out onto the road.
