Earlier in the year local residents expressed concern to your Lib Dem councillors about the safety of the zebra crossing in West Street, by The Hope public house/St Mary’s Infants School. Despite West Street being a 20mph zone, motorists often ignore warnings to reduce speed and there was an accident here on 7th May.

We asked Transport for London (TFL), who are responsible for all traffic signals in the borough, if the Zebra crossing could be upgraded to a Pelican style signal controlled crossing to improve safety.

TFL has agreed to our request, and Sutton Council is carrying out a consultation of residents at all properties in the West Street area. Comments should be sent to traffic.postbook@sutton.gov.uk before 18th June 2015.
