Safer Routes to School - Hightown Primary School

Hightownschool

Summary

  • Where: Hightown Primary School area
  • When: Initial perceptions survey July 2023
  • What: Zebra crossing on Warburton Road
  • Why: To improve the local environment for residents, walking and cycling for local journeys

Project Details

This project will create an improved environment for walking and cycling in this area for local trips as well as joining the wider Cycle network. This may include traffic calming to reduce the number of vehicles and ensure lower vehicle speeds. Measures will be informed through local consultation

In July 2023, we contacted residents and pupils to ask their opinions on walking and cycling routes in this area through an online survey. The survey is now closed. Here is the report analysis with the results from the survey.

Latest Updates

May 2024

We will be returning in May 2024 to lay an anti-skid surface at the crossing point, however the new surface requires some time to settle and good weather is required for these works. We will write to local residents and businesses closer to the time to let them know of any restrictions which may be in place, and these works are anticipated to take around 1 day to complete.

 

March 2024

Works in this March included:

  • Main installation of crossing
  • Resurfacing and relining of Warburton Road
  • Lighting installation for Zebra Crossing
