Cheshire East: People given say on pedestrian crossings

Each year, the demand for pedestrian crossings exceeds the funding available

People have been asked to give their views on where pedestrian crossings are most needed.

Cheshire East Council said it wants to "achieve consistency" on where the crossings are provided because each year the demand for them exceeded available funding.

The council added it wanted a "robust strategy" for managing new and existing crossings and to "prioritise where they are most needed".

The survey is open until 10 March.

"This is a good opportunity for Cheshire East residents to provide their input into how we make our highways a safer place for all road users," said Craig Browne, chair of the council's highways and transport committee.
