Safety fears prompt new crossing
11:28am Thursday 25th October 2007
A NEW pedestrian crossing is to be put in place after demands from residents in Harringay to improve road safety at one of the busiest shopping centres in the area.
Work will begin on the crossing, at the junction of Endymion Road and Green Lanes, opposite the Harringay Arena, early next month.
A survey carried about by Tottenham MP David Lammy showed many residents in his constituency were unhappy with the level of acess at the junction.
Mr Lammy, who lobbied Haringey Council and Transport for London on behalf of residents, said: "As it stands, the crossing has no pedestrian signals and allows insufficient time between traffic lights for pedestrians to cross. Older people and those with young children feel particularly unsafe crossing the road at this junction.
"Residents in Harringay have told me that road safety is a real priority for their area - a priority I fully support.
"I will work to ensure that this crossing - and any others that are needed to improve people's road safety in my constituency - are also delivered.
