Following a campaign by Redcar MP Ian Swales,
Councillor Madge Moses (pictured right), Parish Councillor Margaret Wilson (pictured left) and local residents,
the zebra crossings in Marske are to be raised, acting as a traffic-calming
measure and improving pedestrian safety.
Following a series of accidents in the area
around Marske High Street, the MP received a number of cases from residents
concerned about pedestrian safety. He raised the issue with the Council who have
confirmed that a consultation will be undertaken, with work planned for the next
financial year, pending the consultation’s outcome. The crossing on Redcar Road
and the two on the High Street are all expected to be raised.
Ian Swales MP said:
“This is very good news for the people of
Marske. The new, raised crossings will make
drivers slow down and improve pedestrian safety in the village. It is a very
busy thoroughfare and I’m glad the Council agree that improvements should be
made.”
