Tell the Council : Make the North Circular Crossing Safer!

Make our pelican crossing safer for our children!

The pelican crossing across the North Circular Road by Bowes School allows only 9 seconds for people to cross, often leaving children stuck waiting at a narrow island in the middle of the carriageway. It is unbelievable that TfL, who are responsible for the North Circular and the traffic lights, and Enfield Council, who are responsible for the local traffic schemes, are unable to co-ordinate with each other and take some simple steps to improve the safety of children going to and from school. We are disappointed that despite claiming to have increased the time available to cross, this appears not to have been carried out, and feel that this improved time should be provided throughout the day, not just at school times. We, the undersigned, call on the Council and TfL to make this crossing safer with longer crossing times urgently!
