NEW zebra crossings to improve safety for people crossing Lyde Green’s main road are being installed.
The crossings on Willowherb Road – one between the park & ride exit and Pennycress Close, and the other next to Lyde Green Community Centre, by the Newlands Lane junction, were backed by around nine out of ten residents in a consultation in 2022.
Work on both crossings was due to finish by the end of March, according to the one.network/uk traffic website.
However the closure of part of Newlands Lane, by the Science Park between Acorn Drive and Feynman Way, could be in place until May of next year.
The road was closed as an emergency measure for public safety last November, due to “deterioration”.
The council says maintenance of the road is the responsibility of a developer it has been in discussions with over the work.
