A ROAD safety campaigner has pressed the county council for a pedestrian crossing on a major Winchester road. Mike Slinn addressed councillors on behalf of the Kings Barton Residents’ Association, the new 2,000-home estate being built off Andover Road. Local people are campaigning for a pedestrian crossing to link Weeke and Harestock with the new Barton Farm Academy that opened in September. Andover Road has a speed limit of 50mph. Last month the Chronicle reported a row after the Liberal Democrats allegedly hijacked the issue. Mr Slinn said: "This is a seriously dangerous place to have to cross Andover Road. There is considerable traffic on Andover Road, which links Winchester to the A34, and traffic speeds on this section of Andover Road are high. The sight-line for motorists approaching at 50mph from the north towards Winchester is poor because of the vertical alignment. A pedestrian was killed in January this year at this location.
