CAMPAIGNING TO MAKE ENSBURY PARK GYRATORY SAFE

Local Lib Dem councillors Rich and Olivia are pushing for improvements to Ensbury Park Gyratory after residents raised concerns about how difficult and unsafe it is to cross the junction. 

Rich said: “In the past few years, there have been more than seven collisions on this junction and many residents have been telling us for a long time that they feel unsafe when crossing the road.”

“This junction urgently needs improving, especially for all of the children who are crossing the road on their way to school.”

Olivia and Rich have been working with the council to look into how the junction could be redesigned and made safer. 

Thanks to Olivia and Rich’s work on this, the council will be starting to survey the traffic, road safety and how the junction could be improved. 

Olivia added: “We are pleased that work is now starting to look at the options. We will continue to push for a solution to be found soon. We would like a redesign of the Gyratory to make the area safer for pedestrians and motorists".
