The change in lifestyles forced by the covid-19 restrictions means more people spending more time outside and that, in turn, is prompting various organisations to look at ways of making life easier for pedestrians and cyclists and I am trying to push a couple of the organisations that I belong to locally to pick up the cause.
One of the areas where I think that we need to make improvements is around Ham Common. This is our main communal space yet it is ringed by busy roads and only has one formal pedestrian crossing,
An example of the problem is where the road Ham Common forks and is also joined by Martingales Close, creating a large expanse of roads and leaving pedestrians unsure of how best to cross them. This is particularly true of people leaving the footpath across Ham Common that terminates at this junction (just to the left of the picture).
It is a mess and I hope that we can fix it.
