‘We need zebra crossings’

RESIDENTS of St Aubin are campaigning for zebra crossings amid fears that pedestrians in the village are under threat from speeding motorists.

A petition organised by the St Aubin Residents’ Association was presented to parish Constable and Transport Minister Mike Jackson yesterday, calling for new safety measures. It has been signed by around 500 people.

The campaigners want to see one crossing created at the bus stop between Matisse hairdressers and the parish hall and one just along the road between the bank cash dispenser and the corner of Checkers Xpress.

Murray Norton, who is on the association committee, said: ‘The association was formed last year and for a long time we have been looking at ways of improving safety in the village.’
