A frightening incident recently occurred on Brownedge Lane in Bamber Bridge, where a 10-year-old girl was hit by a car on her way to school, sustaining serious injuries. This traumatic event highlights the ongoing dangers pedestrians — especially children and the elderly — face daily on this busy road, which lacks safe crossing infrastructure. Despite growing community concern and a public meeting calling for a zebra crossing, the local council has refused action, citing funding pressures and even shifting blame onto the children.

The Bamber Bridge community is united in demanding immediate safety measures, urging everyone to sign the petition for a zebra crossing to protect lives.
