A petition to make Romford s Pettits Lane junction safer has reached almost 500 signatures.
Created by Mandy Pugh - and backed by Better Streets for Havering - the petition forms part of a long-running campaign to get safer crossing facilities installed on this junction with the A12.
The petition refers to two schools which are particularly affected by the current situation, one either side of Eastern Avenue.
Pupils at both the Marshalls Park Academy in Pettits Lane and Rise Park Infant School in Annan Way cross this junction, and campaigners argue the current infrastructure simply doesn t allow this to be done safely - for children, or anyone else.
