Letter to the Lancaster Guardian
As the city councillor for the area, I would like to send my condolences to the family of Sadhu Singh who, as a pedestrian, was killed in a traffic accident on King Street last Monday, July 14.
I am sure lots of people, myself included, frequently try to cross King Street in that location – going to or from Queen Street and the southern part of the city centre.
A pedestrian and cycle crossing at that location, and at the George Street/Thurnham Street junction to cross the south-bound one-way system, was proposed a few years ago, and is clearly needed.
I have written to the county council Cabinet member to ask that the crossings be installed as a matter of urgency.
Coun Anne Chapman
