07/01/19 - A much-needed pedestrian crossing in a town centre is to be installed in early January 2019.

Works on the crossing are to begin on January 7

We need Leicestershire County Council to install a pedestrian crossing for the children & parents to cross safely to & from school. This area has become much more hazardous for everybody since the development of The Crescent & is highly dangerous. This isn't limited to school children & is needed for everyone.

Why is this important?

This is very important because it is very dangerous & extremely busy. A mother with a child in a pushchair already had an accident there & there is nowhere safe to cross at all. I am sure if they don't do this soon, there could even be fatalities.
