Purpose

This proposal is being proposed alongside
removal of the School Entrance Markings outside the Primary School
and is connected with the Grimsargh Bridge Widening scheme which is
part of the larger BSIP programme.

The purpose of the introduction of a new pedestrian crossing
adjacent to the Primary School is to provide a safe place for
pedestrians to cross the carriageway. This is in anticipation of
increased vehicle speeds due to the proposed widening of Grimsargh
Skew Bridge.
