The St Helens Linkway (A570) has been giving vital access between the M62 and St Helens town centre for over twenty years, however, there have been many fatal accidents with pedestrians; including several with school children from the Sutton Academy.

There are already several sets of pedestrian crossing areas, with traffic lights on the St Helens Linkway; and speed limits for cars have recently been reduced from 70mph to 40mph, however, accidents are still happening due to drivers not paying attention to the road changes.

I believe that St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council should build a foot bridge over the St Helens Linkway with the junction of Elton Head Road, in the hope that no more fatalities will occur at this important crossing area.
