A pedestrian crossing in the colours of the rainbow could be painted in Weston before the town hosts UK Pride in 2023.
Nearly 400 people have signed a petition calling on North Somerset Council to brighten up the High Street and “champion our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community.”
It was started last month by Simon Harrison-Morse after a similar campaign in Portishead.
He wrote: “Unfortunately due to the Covid pandemic, we haven’t had the opportunity to come together as a town to celebrate so this colourful addition to our streets will be a loud positive message of inclusivity bringing us together and brightening up our town after such a gloomy year.
Somerset town could get rainbow crossing before it hosts UK Pride event
The colourful addition would remind everyone that there is no place for hate in our beautiful town
