Improvements to school crossing
Improvements to a school crossing outside a borough primary school will help families as they make their way to and from school.
Dudley Council recently completed the upgrade to a zebra crossing outside Wallbrook Primary School in Coseley.
Improvements include repainting the zebra crossing, a new anti-skid surface laid on the approach, new flashing halo beacons and improved road markings.
Other road safety improvements across the borough include an upgrade to a zebra crossing on Richmond Street in Halesowen as well as new speed humps and a new zebra crossing installed on Bromley Lane.
Work is also underway to install a new pedestrian crossing on Summerhill Road in Coseley to provide a safer place for residents to cross the busy road.
Councillor Damian Corfield, cabinet member for highways and environmental services, said:
We’re investing thousands of pounds in our roads to put in preventative measures such as new beacon lighting and anti-skid surfacing to improve pedestrian safety across the borough.
In Coseley and in other locations, improved crossings will help make journeys to school safer for children and families.
Many of the improvements are being delivered through our safer routes to school scheme.
