Get a crossing on Damson Lane, Solihull

Numerous times it has been requested by bother parents teachers that a crossing is put on Damson Lane and refused. 2 children in the past 6 months have been involved in accidents within a few feet of one another and many more have had near misses. The Land Rover traffic and the bus route of the 966 means that children and parents have to weave between cars to get accross and often don't have a clear view of the other side and further down due to the busses and delivery trucks and lorries passing during school hours. There are two infant and junior schools nearby as well as shopping facilities that are frequented nearby making it a high traffic area for both pedestrians and cars.

It's only a matter of time before another child/adult is hurt there, a crossing would stop traffic for them to cross safely. There are moms crossing with more than 4 children and a school walking bus with more than 10 children to cross to Yew Tree School on Wherrets Well Lane. A crossing is definitely warranted for the safety of everyone and will allow for the children and parents to get across without having to dip between traffic to get to the other side.
