The council finally agreed to upgrade the crossing. Seeing the work start means my neighborhood will be safe again and I am relieved that no one else has to gamble with their safety on this road.

I spent the morning watching the traffic on Milnrow Road and it remains just as dangerous as the day I started this campaign. My inbox is full of messages from neighbors who are terrified to cross near Salts Street but I am still waiting for the council to acknowledge that this road needs a proper signal.

Watching this count climb reminds me that I am not the only one terrified to cross Milnrow Road. We need to hit that hundred mark today to show the council that our community feels unsafe. Please send this link to your neighbors so we can force them to finally pay attention.

this crossing has always been dangerous and have seen a number of near misses over the yrs. plus it is used by many children from nearby nursery and primary schools. we no longer even have a lollypop lady - oldham council thanx again for that!!
It should have changed sooner I can't understand why 2 people have to loose there life before something is done. As a driver I also know how hard it is to see that crossing when the sun is in your eyes and that the light is hind by the trees in the summer.
As an former Shaw community (now retired) police officer I remember putting in so many reports asking for a pelican crossing at this location, which obviously was to no avail. I have even been involved in an accident at this spot myself when the dria car
Having used this crossing on many occasions I know that on occasions I have felt as if I have been dicing wi5th death when vehicles have failed to stop even after traffic from the opposite direction have given way and I have stepped onto the carriagway
Driving past this most days you have to be so careful to spot pedestrians who are approaching the crossing. Add the fact there is also a junction close by to add to mix there is too much going on. So Pelican crossing is needed. No doubt about it.
Do it llease
This road is way too fast for a Zebra crossing. Annalise and your Family, out thoughts are with you.

I understand it costs around 1 million pounds on average to investigate and deal with a fatal road collision, how many zebra's could be replaced for £1million. 1 life lost is 1 life too many, my thoughts go out to Annalise's family and friends.
