Liberal Democrats in Highgate have secured action from Haringey Council to
improve the state of faded zebra crossings in the area.
Liberal Democrats
say that, at present, the crossings are not fully visible to passing
motorists and are danger to pedestrians. They are located at the junctions
of Highgate High Street / Southwood Lane / Hampstead Lane and on the High Street
near Townsend Yard.
Following concerns raised by GLA member Lynne Featherstone, a highways
inspector has visited the locations in Highgate and as a result, Haringey Council
has instructed its contractor to repaint the zebra crossings and give way
lines in the area.
Lynne Featherstone comments:
"I am relieved that the Council is now taking action to improve the safety
of these crossings. They must now make sure that their refurbishment is
carried out as quickly as possible as their dilapidated state was a hazard
to anyone in Highgate trying to cross the road."
