Sarah Carr Backs Safer Crossing Campaign on A40 Wilton Roundabout
1.00.23pm GMT Fri 20th Nov 2009
Sarah Carr, local campaigner and Liberal Democrat Prospective MP for Hereford, Ross and South Herefordshire, is following up local residents concern about the poor pedestrian crossings on the Wilton Roundabout. Sarah has met with local resident Russell Hamilton to discuss concerns about crossing the busy A40 roundabout at Wilton. Mr Hamilton is leading a campaign for a safer pedestrian crossing for the residents of Bridstow and Wilton.
Sarah Carr said, "With Bridstow Primary School just minutes away from the busy junction, and significant residential areas on both sides of the A40, the lack of an adequate crossing clearly presents a pedestrian safety issue. I know this has been a long running concern of many residents who have campaigned hard for better access."
"Following on from this concern The Highways Agency has recently improved access with new paving, but getting across the roundabout still remains extremely hazardous and local residents are still concerned. I would be very interested in hearing from people of their experiences. The community deserves a safe crossing, and the local economy would benefit enormously from the increased number of shoppers walking into Wilton and Ross-on-Wye. I am very happy to back Russell Hamilton in his campaign for safer pedestrian crossings on the roundabout."
Sarah Carr is working with Russell Hamilton on the campaign for safer crossings and encourages anyone wishing to help in the campaign or add their experience to contact her directly on 01432 265528, or by emailing info@sarahcarr.org.uk.
