Motion Submitted by Councillor Bradshaw
To consider the following Motion submitted by Councillor Bradshaw:
Footbridge at the junction of Dunnings Bridge Road and Park Lane, Netherton
“This Council calls on Highways England to halt their plan to replace the footbridge at the junction of Dunnings Bridge Road and Park Lane, Netherton with a pedestrian crossing and ensure that either a refurbishment of the existing footbridge or a new footbridge is put in place.
This junction is on one of the busiest roads in the country and has on one side a primary school and the other side a Day centre and we believe that the safety of our local children, vulnerable people and other local residents is critical. It is vital that urgent action is taken to halt this plan with immediate effect.
As such, we request the Chief Executive of the Council to contact the Chief Executive of Highways England seeking intervention to halt this ill-conceived plan immediately and ensure that any replacement at this road junction is a footbridge.”
