Act Now to Improve McDonalds Junction!
.jpg)
Take immediate action to improve safety at the North Lane/North Close/Lower Newport Road junction used to enter/exit McDonalds.
Why is this important?
Saturday evening (18th Jan) saw yet another accident at this junction. A young man was thrown from his bike, injuring his leg. It could have been much worse!
Living opposite this junction, I have been witness to the increase in accidents, prangs and near-misses (many of which never get reported) since the opening of the 'new' McDonald's.
I have gathered concerns from local residents and shared these with the Hampshire County Councillor for Aldershot South, Bill Withers, who assures me that the junction is being "looked at". Yet residents and road users have seen no improvement in over 2 years, since the restaurant opened.
We cannot put up with this delay any longer. The time for action in now!
I don't want the next time I hear a collision and look out of my window to be faced with the scene of a life changing injury or even a fatality involving someone's loved one/family member/friend. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I could have, indeed should have, done more.
The time for dither and delay is over! Hampshire County Council need to take action NOW!
