It comes after they and a team of volunteers spoke to residents on Manor Park and along Harborough Avenue this weekend, asking about local concerns.
Coun Dodds said they heard from a lot of people about road safety and speeding.
She said: “We’re organizing a community meeting on Thursday (Oct 8) to put pressure on the council to act now and install a pedestrian crossing.
“People also raised concerns about crime, particularly burglaries and masked motorcyclists. We’ve raised this with the police and will ask again what more can be done.”
