Residents along a busy stretch of the A52 in Radcliffe-on-Trent have called for a temporary road crossing to be made permanent. People living along the road, also known as Gratham Road, say it will improve safety for children who regularly "chance it" in crossing.
The temporary pelican crossing outside Woodside Store was introduced due to ongoing roadworks at its Bingham Road junction. But National Highways, which is carrying out the works, said it had no plans to install one permanently.
This comes despite the crossing's praise from residents, who are otherwise frustrated by the ongoing works. Michelle Ison, who lives on the A52, described it as a "god-send".
