CALL FOR ANOTHER CROSSING ON THE BUSY A18 IN BRIGG

A call for a new pedestrian crossing to be installed on one of the busiest roads in Brigg was made at the Town Council's latest meeting.
Long-serving Coun Ann Eardley suggested the need for a crossing on Wrawby Road, near the Cemetery.
She based this on her own observations following visits to this area, suggesting that crossing the A18 was particularly difficult for people with prams.
Reference was also made during the meeting to a similar suggestion having been made by Brigg resident Ken Harrison.
Coun Eardley addressed her remarks to Coun Rob Waltham, who is the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, our local highway authority, and also a member of the Town Council.
Coun Waltham said he could raise Coun Eardley's suggestion with North Lincolnshire Council but he doubted that a crossing at this location would meet the necessary criteria for installing a crossing.
Coun Carl Sherwood, a member of the Cabinet at North Lincolnshire Council with responsibility for rural areas, pointed to a 30mph speed limit being in force on Wrawby Road.
