CALLS are growing for a new crossing on an “unsafe” stretch of the A338 in Fordingbridge.
Councillor Edward Hale said he had seen appeals on social media for a crossing on the A338 near Surma Valley and Burgate School in order to walk the Avon Valley Path safely.
He said at a meeting of the town council’s general purposes committee: “They are saying that it is very difficult to get across there. I’ve had that problem. I also quite like the idea because it would slow traffic down.”
Councillor Alan Lewendon said a traffic island had previously been suggested. He added: “It is going to become more difficult because we are going to have effectively a three way road there because the road from the Metis Homes estate is going to come out there.”
