Good luck with your pestering but don't hold your breath.

There is no zebra crossing on Queens Road West near Moorhead and St Christopher's high schools. In the mornings and late afternoons that is often a very busy road. Because the children are over 11 it is not deemed necessary for a "lollypop person" to assist them. Several children have been injured crossing the road there including my daughter who run over last October and ended up in intensive care. Still the council in their wisdom see no necessity for a pelican crossing. Are they waiting for a child to be killed?

I agree with you that Union Road is very busy and always has been. When I worked in Church I remember the difficulty I had trying tio get into the traffic in Market Street in order to get home. Quite often I would just give up and go upwards instead and along Moscow Mill Street.
