Progress is being made in a campaign to install a pedestrian crossing at a 'dangerous' junction near a school in Hucknall. Ashfield Independent Councillor Lee Waters has been working with parents of children at the nearby school, Hillside Primary and Nursery School, to call for new safety measures at the junction of St Patrick's Road and Wood Lane.
It comes after Councillor Waters, who represents Hucknall Central on Ashfield District Council, said there had been a number of 'near misses', while parents said that a 'lollipop lady' was no longer on hand to help.
Councillor Waters has since had confirmation from Nottinghamshire County Council, the local authority responsible for highway issues, that the request for a pedestrian crossing has been put forward for a feasibility study to be carried out, which would determine if the project is viable.
