Delays to quoting for the traffic island I have been working on on Sacriston lane in Witton Gilbert have ended. A quote for just over £8000 for the scheme has been proposed and I have asked for this to go ahead using funding from neighbourhood and highways monies.

This has long been a difficult place to cross the road, and apart from a couple of issues concerning location which have been dealt with, noone has objected to the scheme in Witton Gilbert. It was reported in both my Focus leaflet and the Parish NEwsletter.
Hopefully in a few months we can see work commence to make it safer to cross the road for local residents and to reduce speed of vehicles near the newsagents.
