What a pity this hasn't been consulted upon. That junction (of EDG and MG) is gagging for a better crossing, rather than just updating the existing Zebra.

Actually a consultation was carried out, James Barber linked to it on this thread when the subject was discussed before in August.

The consultation closed on 6th September.

My worry is that by focusing on the one zebra crossing it will make the others more dangerous, with cars speeding up moving away from Lordship Lane, already frustrated with having to stop at the other one.The zebra crossing outside the old hospital is already dangerous because of cars not stopping or even speeding up as they approach it.
Apologies if I've missed something in another thread but does anyone know what the outcome of the consultation was? I've noticed that some road works appear to be being undertaken on the section of EDG near Lordship Lane at present. Are these connected?

There was a crash Saturday night on the zebra crossing outside the hospital no pedestrians involved just a driver who lost concentration for a few moments and took out one side of the railings.


I am regularly shocked by some of the antics of drivers on this stretch of the road and have lost count of the amount of times people have not respected the zebra when I've been crossing mainly due to two reasons- speeding and overtaking buses at the stop.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
