Over 340 local residents have signed a petition calling for improvements to road safety near St Lukes Primary school on Queen’s Park Rise, Brighton.
FAYE Bridgewater a local mother assisted by local Queen’s Park Labour council candidates Karen Barford and Adrian Morris began the campaign when told that local parents were struggling to get their children to school safely.
Nancy Platts Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven joined the campaign and echoed the calls from local parents.
Nancy said: “There’s a clear need for a crossing at this location, Faye is a mum on a mission and I think the the Green-led Council need to respond to the genuine concerns of local parents”
Faye Bridgewater said: “It seems so silly that I’m having to petition the council for something so sensible. It’s clearly a busy road that lots of people need to cross. It’s an historical problem and parents have been asking for a crossing for years.”
Karen Barford Queens Park Labour council candidate, concluded: “As a mum and grandma, I know all too well the dangers of crossing busy roads with little ones, which is why I fully support such a worthy campaign. I am inspired by local resident Faye Bridgwater who demonstrates such passion and commitment to improve safety on Freshfield Road for the benefit of local people.”
