A resident has launched a petition for safety measures at Cross Hill Road, Sheffield.

In her petition statement she said: “This is an extremely busy road with many dangerous junctions and left and right turns, there is no safe place to cross this road.

“Cross Hill has many family residents and there are many schools nearby the area with children walking home from school. And therefore for the safety of myself, my family and people in the community [we want this crossing].”

So far, seven people have signed the petition which can be found here: https://democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=10259&RPID=8552887&HPID=8552887
