The crossing near Ada Street and the Top Park is imminent
A puffin crossing is scheduled to be put in place following concerns raised by residents about safety of children and elderly people on a notorious main road.
Ramsbottom councillor, Tom Pilkington said: “I have grown up in the community and I’ve known these issues before being politically engaged and involved. I went to Hazlehurst Community Primary School and I remember my grandma always walked me across the road. It has always been a danger spot.“We have been adamant that this needs to happen and we have been resolute in our campaigning.
Cllr Pilkington, Clare Cummins, and Spencer Donnelly pledged to deliver the puffin crossing as part of their local election campaigns in May 2022. They have had multiple meetings in which they have discussed the issue. He says residents will lose one car parking spot off the side of Bolton Road West to make sure that the crossing is visible. A number of fatalities and injuries have occurred on the road including a 15-year-old boy being hit by a 50-tonne truck at the junction of Lumb Carr Road and Bolton Road West in May.
