The pedestrian crossing on Coombe Rd, which links Harvard Heights to Bouverie Avenue, has been given funding to improve it and make it more visible to approaching drivers.

Several residents had contacted me about the state of the white railings and the crossing in general. I then  took the matter up with the Salisbury Community Area Transport Group, which I Chair, and the members there agreed that something needs doing.

I will be working with the Highways officer on this, but signs for approaching drivers are needed to warn them of the concealed crossing. Also, a coloured road surface on the crossing itself to help users.

Although not ideal, this crossing is very widely used by locals.
