Much needed by the increasing number of children from North of the rail track who are now attending Richmond Park Academy following the dramatic improvements to the school - it is now oversubscribed!

Makes perfect sense.

A pedestrian footbridge on White Hart Lane is an excellent idea. There are regularly 3-4 trains passing with correspondingly extensive waits for those people waiting. There is certainly a safety consideration with so many children, Mothers with pushchairs and so on crossing

Please make sure any bridge has a cycle ramp like the one over Barnes Bridge.

I have seen so many young people jump over the barrier so I would welcome a bridge to prevent a possible accident.

A footbridge is long overdue and very necessary. I cross this crossing 4 times a day with my small children. I see elderly people, children and fellow parents on school runs in danger on a regular basis trying to 'beat the barriers'. A footbridge would be life changing to local residents.

An accident could happen. Many trains, long waits, many restless children. A staircase bridge would be wonderful and would provide a moment of aerobic stair walking instead of lolling by the barrier. Or is a few minutes dream time not a bad thing...........

essential to make this very busy crossing safer for pedestrians.

Is there potential to link a contribution to the provision of a footbridge to any planning permission for the redevelopment of the Ruffles Motors site? There is certainly a need for a footbridge. Whilst safety is the major concern, a cost benefit analysis of a footbridge should also take account of the amount of time that could be saved for pedestrians and cyclists - many people need to cross the railway several times a day.

I have seen so many people try and beat the warning lights it is frightening! The children need a bridge to get to school.

Manor Road crossing has made life so much easier so White Hart Lane needs one too.

Better get ahead with it rather than wait until there's an accident.

It desperately needs action at this crossing before a serious accident occurs

My son and grandchildren use this crossing on a daily basis and I personally have experienced the considerable dangers we pedestrians face as we compete with irate,impatient drivers on this manic level crossing.

A footbridge would make the road and wider area much more pedestrian-friendly, encouraging people to walk to their local amenities, and moreover make it safer to walk.

Every crossing should be safe. a bridge is necessary.

Someone do something about this before there is a serious accident or someone is killed.

The crossing is in desperate need of a footbridge. I speak as a pedestrian, driver and father of two. Cars continually break the speed limit to try to get across before the barriers. Given the amount of people and cyclists and pushchairs/prams etc people inevitably find themselves pushed out onto the road. A footbridge would revolutionize the whole area for everybody. It is a matter that must be attended to with great urgency before a tragedy happens.
