Crossing needed by Oatlands Park, Weybridge
Install a pedestrian crossing on Oatlands Drive by Oatlands Park.
Why is this important?
Oatlands Drive is a fast and busy road. Used as a cut through especially when there are problems with the M25. We have local schools, residents, parents, children and dog walkers who are unable to cross this road safely. Parents walking to the park with pushchairs risk their and their children's lives when having to lead with the pushchair into the road. Dog walkers have to wait for the traffic to disappear which is virtually never. With summer coming up the park will be used even more especially as we have the only outdoor paddling pool for miles.
We need a crossing and we need it now.
Everyone in Weybridge or Oatlands knows someone who uses the park. That's someone that risks their life to get recreation. When recreation in a park is one of the few free activities we have nowadays, it shouldn't be paid for at the cost of safety.
