Parents at Sheddingdean Primary School have started a petition for a pedestrian crossing at the junction between Mill Road and Leylands Road. Crossing at peak times is a nightmare and speeding cars can also be an issue when traffic is lighter. This has been made worse with the advent of the Lidl store as well as increased traffic from housing development. The junction is a key crossing point for those visiting the new store, as well as school children and those walking to town, and can also be a nightmare for cars trying to exit from Mill Road or Freeks Lane at busy periods, so a traffic light controlled crossing would also benefit road users.

Cllr Stuart Condie, our local County Councillor is taking this forward with the County Council and the petition provides a valuable indicator of the strength of local opinion in support of the proposal. Sign the petition here.
