Install pedestrian crossings at the Mossley Road/Queens Road Crossroads, Ashton
Rejected

What the petition asks
This crossing is dangerous. There is a blind corner on one of the junctions so it is dangerous to cross as a pedestrian not to mention with a pram/wheelchair or as an elderly person. I've contacted the council but they sent the sequence for light changes. Simply put this crossing is currently unsafe
I have seen several people struggle to cross and I have almost been knocked over several times
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
