The North East Area Partnership plans to part fund the safer crossing on Westerhouse Road at Lochend Road withWork could start this year, a council officer told a partnership meeting on Friday. Councillor Maureen Burke, Labour, said: “Although there has not been a fatality there has been quite a few people hit by cars.”
Explaining how surveys had taken place to look at the issues, a council officer said: “Our observations did confirm that we think a crossing would be beneficial here. We noted a number of vulnerable pedestrians, elderly and young pedestrians. Explaining that a puffin crossing would not be suitable, he added: “We thought it would be better to signalise the junction of Lochend Road at Westerhouse Road. That would allow full crossing facilities for Lochend Road and Westerhouse Road. You have better facilities for all. It would also help to slow traffic down considerably in the area.”
