Pedestrian crossing
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7964672.
Along this stretch of road towards Bedlington town centre the nearest safe crossing is next to Morrisons food store. Other than that there are just bollards in the middle of the road. This is unsafe if you have a pram or young child and means walking all the way to Bedlington up one side of the road to cross over safely and come down the other side. Can we please have another safe crossing area along the A1068 closer to the Chester’s or the new housing estate so that pedestrians can cross safely. This would also slow down the horrendous speeding traffic along the road.

Re: Request for pedestrian crossing.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention they have been recorded on the Directory of Requests database so that they can be considered for inclusion in a future Local Transport Plan (LTP) Programme. Priorities for the LTP Programme are reviewed on an annual basis and the Requests database is the starting point for the review. The prioritisation process for the LTP Programme involves consultation with the local County Councillors and Town/Parish Councils. Issues are scored against LTP criteria and the highest ‘scoring’ issues are recommended for inclusion in the programme. The final draft programme is consulted on at the Council’s Area Committees in the first quarter of each year and the committee papers are publicly available. http://committee.northumberland.gov.uk/ Meetings.aspx
