Local residents have expressed concern about the safety of three of the crossings on Verulam Road (those by Church Crescent, Britton Avenue and Upper Dagnall Street).

There have been a number of ‘near misses’ due to motorists not being able to see the crossings until they are virtually on top of them.

It is clear that the belisha beacons are either obscured or not working. Road markings are also less than clear.

Chris has asked highways officials to have a closer look at some simple measures to make them more visible – and thus safer.
