In the summer of 2015 the above junction was modified following the requests of local residents to make it safer for pedestrians. As a results of the changes, there has been an increase in vehicle accidents at the junction and an increase in concern that this will lead to fatalities. Clearly the new crossing now needs minor adjustments to make it even more effective. As a local teacher I feel I must raise this concern for the safety of children and families in the area. 

This petition is to change the lighting sequence to reduce the risk to drivers and pedestrians. It may also be necessary to improve signage to ensure drivers are clearer that there are restricted access for right hand turns. We cannot blame all of the incidents on driver error.

It is important that this junction is a safe area as many children from local schools use the crossing. It would be good to see an improved cycle route around the crossing as this is also a dangerous area for cyclists.  

Please take the time to sign this petition and make it a safer place. Thank you.
