Campaign for Safe Crossing by Queen's Head, Green Lanes

12.31.28pm BST (GMT +0100) Sat 12th Sep 2009

Harringay Ward residents who have been campaiging for a safer crossing over Green Lanes by the Queen's Head Pub, Frobisher Road, have received a boost from David and Harringay Ward Lib Dem Councillors Karen Alexander and Carolyn Baker.

A petition which they have been taking door-to-door has received almost 100 signatures in less than four days.

There is no safe crossing point for 200 metres in either direction, which means than many people taking their children to the primary school in Falkland Road have to choose between going well out of their way or braving the traffic.

According to David, "Traffic moves swiftly in this part of Green Lanes, and pedestrians have to keep a lookout in several directions at once. Over the years a number of people have been injured here, and indeed I myself once saw a 10-year-old girl and her grandfather knocked down by a driver turning out of Frobisher Road."
