A campaign group has added its voice to criticism of new zebra crossings introduced in Shifnal
There are concerns over the safety at the pedestrian crossings put in as part of the work in Shifnal's town centre.
Shifnal Town Council has written to Shropshire Council calling for signs to be introduced immediately to alert drivers to the new layout. A spokesman for the group said:"The double crossings around a busy junction with no light control is an accident waiting to happen and Shifnal Matters call for the pelican lights and railings to be reinstated immediately to ensure the safety of Shifnal residents."
In a statement last week Shifnal Town Council said:"It appears that in particular there is growing concern regarding the use of the zebra crossing by pedestrians within the scheme and the time-frame for advisory signage to be installed to ensure that both pedestrians and motorists are aware of the new layout and design including the introduction of the new 20mph speed limit through the designated area.
