Roadworks on a major tourist route this summer is 'necessary in order to improve safety for pedestrians', the area’s ward councillor has said.
- particularly as Squires Gate Lane feeds tourism traffic heading towards St Anne on Clifton Drive North, and to Blackpool Promenade.There are already temporary traffic lights at the junction of Clifton Drive North and Highbury Road in St Annes which are expected to remain in place until August while Lancashire County Council extends a cycle track. Commenting on the council’s Facebook page, one person has asked whether the work “could have been done in the winter time when traffic is low”.
He said: “This particular junction has seen an increase in pedestrians and a number of local residents have raised concerns about road safety. With that in mind, I very much welcome the introduction of a pedestrian crossing as this will assist parents who walk their children to the local school and those who wish to walk to the retail park, including the more vulnerable members of the community.
