Following our report about the pelican crossing in Brigg being out of action, North Lincolnshire Council got the lights working again just a few days later. And all is now well.
These repairs were very welcome. For over the weekend we saw a woman with four youngsters trying to get across the A18, near Horse Fair Paddock, while the lights were out.
Finding a gap in the traffic so five folk could cross the road at this location was no easy task - even on a Sunday afternoon when there are fewer lorries, cars and vans about
It was the second time in the space of a few weeks that this pedestrain crossing "failed."
Hopefully the root cause of the problem has been identified and this important road safety feature will stay with us for months to come.
This is an ideal location for such a crossing, which is very well used by pedestrians of all ages.
