Your Lib Dem Team for Shaw is pleased to report that at long last, after years of calls for action from your local councilors, Oldham Council has now promised to improve the Crompton Way Zebra crossing.
This follows the tragic death of Annalise Holt, 12, after a collision with a van on December 17. The investigation by Greater Manchester Police into this incident remains ongoing.
The lighting has already been upgraded with ‘halo’ LED lighting.
“We will continue working with Oldham Council, local residents and crossing campaigners like Danny Sheppard,” said Councillor Howard Sykes.
You can view the four different redesign proposals for the crossing on display boards at Crompton Library on Farrow Street East, and Asda on Greenfield Lane.
They can also be viewed online at www.oldham.gov.uk/shawcrossing
Comments and concerns can be provided on feedback forms at the sites where the boards are displayed.
Residents can also submit their views via email to: shaw.crossing@oldham.gov.uk
“I would urge everybody to have a look at these proposals and make sure you have your say,” stated Councillor Howard Sykes. “All comments need submitting by the end of April.”
It is expected that the final design will be presented to the Shaw and Crompton District Executive on June 24 for final approval.
