Green Cross Code
Last Friday morning was spent helping students cross the road at the busy Tyndalls Park Road and Woodlands Road junction. Ben, who lives just up the road, had seen how most mornings hundreds of students play a dangerous game of frogger at this busy stretch of road in an effort to get to lectures on time.
Ben and I with an uncharacteristic negative message
As the Green Party we are trying to get a crossing installed at this location but in the meantime we thought we’d lend a hand. Wielding some lovingly hand made lollipops Ben and I stopped the traffic to let the students cross, while Bill, Dom, Georgina and Chris took signatures for our petition.
Lot of students crossing in safety
We had a couple of frustrated motorists shout things at us for delaying their journey by thirty seconds or so but on the whole the response was very positive, with many university students and staff expressing thanks that this problem had at last been recognised.
If you want to sign our petition then just contact me and I’ll pass your details on.
