Conservative councillor Michele Scott said she had noticed lines had faded at some key junctions
Faded road markings across busy parts of Blackpool are proving a hazard for drivers, it has been claimed. including on the Promenade, meaning some motorists were making dangerous manoeuvres.
“Those arrows aren’t there and it is resulting in people whizzing down the outside and then cutting in on cars and landaus and whatever else might be on the road. Also some of the zebra crossings are very faded and quite unsafe. So I wonder what the plan is for improvements in the road markings across the town.”
She added: “Do we have any people there, or signage telling them to get off? It’s dangerous and it is not going to be long before there is a fatal accident. What can be done about it, and if it is a police issue what pressure is the council putting on the police to make sure this practice stops?”
