Ryan Priest Launches Petition on Dodgy Junction
Cradley and Wollescote Community Campaigner Ryan Priest has launched a petition to Dudley Council to take action on the junction at the bottom of Windmill Hill, connecting Toys Lane and Furlong Lane.
The petition launched today follows on from a survey of local residents a week ago. It calls on Dudley Council to take one of two actions, either:
- Install new traffic lights at the junction, and take down the traffic lights outside the Wilson Hall.
or - Make Toys Lane one way only, blocking motorists from exiting Toys Lane.
On the launch of the peition Ryan Priest said:
" I've lived in Cradley all my life, and it seems that all my life people have wanted to see action on this junction, but nothing ever got done."
"This junction is notorious in our community for being incredibly dangerous, particularly because of the lack of visability when exiting Toys Lane.
"Its an incredibly busy route, and so it is important the the community are consulted before any demands are made - that's why I launched the survey last week, to find our just what it is residents want. It's clear that traffic lights would be the most ideal outcome, although there are completely understandable concerns about how many traffic lights there would be in Colley Gate if another set were put up.
"We all know that council budgets are stretched, and while traffic lights were the ideal outcome for most residents, a sizable amout would like to see Toys Lane made one way"
