AGENCY BACKS PROTESTERS OVER CROSSING DANGERS
The crossing was installed earlier this year to provide residents and schoolchildren with a safe means of crossing the busy A27. It also included the installation of central islands on the eastern and western side of the A27 Warren Road junction with Offington Avenue.
The audit follows protests by residents and the Findon Valley Society, who claimed that the crossing was an "accident waiting to happen" with traffic unable to see the crossing and also approaching it at inappropriate speeds.
