Road Safety Measures for Long Road Lawford
Road Safety Measures such as a permanent crossing or at the very least a crossing patrol for the afternoons to be installed on Long Road Lawford outside Lawford CoE Primary School and Little Pumpkins Nursery
Why is this important?
It's important because it's an accident waiting to happen especially in the afternoon when there is no crossing patrol to help parents and children to cross this extremely busy road.
My 3yr old daughter and in-laws were involved in a near miss crossing this road on 4/10/18. Following a message on social media I have found out in the last month since the school returned from summer break there have been at least three other near miss incidents and one child has been knocked over.
A crossing has been talked about for years on this site but nothing has been done. With all the extra traffic created by the new housing estates in the area the situation is only going to get worse.
We need Essex Highways to take action ASAP before a serious accident occurs.
